SGS Conducts Soil Testing for the Irrigation Project in Western Australia
In April 2010, SGS was assigned a contract to conduct Soil Testing
for an irrigation expansion project, which aims at creating a
dynamical regional centre in Western Australia by extending the
irrigated area. SGS is providing a wide range of Soil Testing
services, including sieving analysis and compaction tests.
SGS Performs Soil Testing for the Irrigation Project in Australia(firmenpresse) - In April 2010, SGS was awarded a contract to execute Soil
Testing for the irrigation project in Australia. The project is
expected to be completed by the end of October 2010.
The irrigation project, developed in Western Australia will extend
the irrigated area by 8,000 hectares and aims at realizing the full
potential of available natural resources in the region in order to
provide economic and social development. The improvement of
social, community and common-use infrastructure, including
off-farm water supply, drainage and roads will be achieved.
Moreover, indigenous people will benefit through employment,
business development and improved community facilities.
As the project in the Western Australia region was very
significant, the project required a reliable third-party testing
company to conduct Soil Testing. Therefore, SGS Australia, with
its extensive experience and competence in such projects,
received the contract to provide Soil Testing services, including
sieving analysis and compaction test.
Soil Testing offered by SGS determines the density, moisture
content and drying effects of soil in the Western Australia region.
It is indispensable for assessing the soil fertility and proper
application of nutrients in order to maximize the yield in the
region. Furthermore, Soil Testing provided by SGS is very
important for analyzing the physical performance, characteristics
and classification of the soil used for building roads and
drainage systems to ensure the top quality of the planned
infrastructure.
A team of two highly qualified SGS experts collect soil samples
with a soil probe from the surface (0-15 cm) and subsurface
(15-60 cm) in order to assess the quality of soil in a reliable and
adequate way. These soil samples are analyzed by SGS
specialists in a portable laboratory which was built specifically
for the irrigation project. Sieving analysis and compaction tests
are conducted in accordance with Australian Standards
including AS1289.
