Soil testing for salinity

Hi Guys

apologies if this is wrong section please move if required

i have been asked by my builder to provide salinity report for my lot.

They can get it done from their sources but i was thinking may be to have couple of quotes on my own.

can someone recommend me any lab etc who can give me a quote in sydney area

Thanks in advance

 

Why does the builder require a salinity report? Are you on acid sulphate soils, in a marine environment or did he see you coming?

 

I believe the box hill area is usually highly saline area and the type of slab requires salinity value

 

If the engineer requires it, they can advise or appoint the geotech who they work with most often & provide you a quote.

 

Yes engineer required it and possibly they can advise or appoint , as i mentioned initially i was just thinking if it would be cheaper to get it on my own, might save few hundred….
