Bamford Rock Testing Services – Pushing the Limits : Creep Testing for Tunnels and Dams

We are now settled into our new premises at 20 Williams Road, Coburg North VIC 3058. Our Creep lab is up and running and ready to test your samples. To find out more about what Creep testing can do for your projects please read below.

Creep Testing

As infrastructure projects continue to expand across Australia and globally, the need for robust geotechnical testing has never been more critical.  At Bamford Rock Testing Services (BRTS) we specialise in high-precision Creep Testing, adhering to the ASTM D7070 standard, to assess the long-term deformation characteristics of rock under sustained stress.

Ensuring Durability in Critical Structures

Creep behaviour plays a pivotal role in the stability of tunnels, dams, and underground excavations, where rock formations are subjected to prolonged loading.  At BRTS, our creep test procedures provide invaluable data for engineers and designers, enabling them to predict material behaviour over extended periods and mitigate potential structural failures.

Our expertise spans major tunnelling projects, large-scale hydroelectric dam developments, and critical underground infrastructures.  By accurately simulating in-situ stress conditions, we deliver comprehensive creep analysis that informs construction strategies, enhances safety, and optimises long-term performance.

Reliable Testing Capabilities

Our well-established laboratory is equipped with proven creep testing apparatus capable of conducting prolonged tests under controlled conditions.  With precise monitoring systems, we capture key parameters such as:

  • Primary, secondary, and tertiary creep behaviour
  • Time-dependant deformation rates
  • Stress-strain relationships under long-term loads

Why Choose BRTS?

  • Industry-leading expertise in rock mechanics and geotechnical assessment
  • Proven track record supporting critical infrastructure projects worldwide
  • Strict adherence to ASTM D7070 standards and rigorous quality control
  • Customised reporting and interpretation for specific engineering needs.

 

BRTS continues to push the boundaries of geotechnical testing, ensuring that large-scale engineering projects are built on a foundation of precision and reliability.  For more information on how our Creep testing services can support your next project, contact us today.
