The Foundation of Site Investigations: Insights from Down Under with Hamish Henderson"

In this engaging episode of our podcast, we sit down with Hamish Henderson, an experienced geotechnical engineer from Australia, to discuss the nuances and critical aspects of geotechnical site investigations. Hamish shares his deep knowledge about the AS1726 standard, the backbone of geotechnical investigations in Australia, and walks us through the key steps and methodologies that define successful fieldwork in the discipline. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or just curious about the world beneath our feet, this episode offers invaluable insights into the complexities of geotechnical engineering.

What You Will Learn:

  • Understanding AS1726: Hamish breaks down the 2017 updates to Australia's geotechnical site investigation standard and its impact on the field.
  • Key Steps in Ground Investigations: From pre-investigation data collection to planning and executing site walkovers, learn about the processes that ensure successful site investigations.
  • Technology in Geotechnical Engineering: Discover how technologies like geological modeling software and drones are revolutionizing site investigations.
  • The Human Element: Hamish discusses the importance of experience and judgment in the field, especially in remote and challenging environments.

Featured Guest: Hamish Henderson

  • With years of experience in both consultancy and mining sectors, Hamish brings a wealth of knowledge and firsthand insights into the world of geotechnical engineering. His expertise spans across critical infrastructure projects and innovative geotechnical practices.
