Salinity and Aggressivity Assessments

Salinity Assessments are frequently performed to evaluate the potential influence of soil salt content on a planned development on a site. Salts originate from weathering rock, soil, and salted water bodies. Surface and groundwater can mobilise these salts, causing accumulation elsewhere.

Salt, when present in significant amounts at a particular location, can cause corrosion in concrete and steel structures, impacting their integrity. Moreover, excessive salt content in the soil can hinder plant growth. Salinity is a significant natural resource management issue in Australia.

Aggressiveness is gauged by the potential of corrosion affecting concrete or steel structures. It is assessed by analysing soil characteristics such as pH, conductivity, and the presence of chlorides and sulphates.

Conducting soil salinity testing and concrete aggressivity assessment are essential for construction, land development, and engineering projects.
