WHO WE ARE

Three laboratories, one set of standards

Aitken Rowe Testing Laboratories (ARTL) has been NATA accredited since 1992. Today we operate from three base laboratories in Wagga Wagga, Griffith and Albury/Wodonga. ARTL provides geotechnical expertise for builders, engineers, council and contractors across NSW, ACT and VIC.

The rigs are ours, the laboratories are ours, and the engineers are in-house, so the entire project (investigation, testing and reporting) stays with the one team, minimising risks and assuring professional accountability.

WHY AITKEN ROWE

Why choose Aitken Rowe

Most of what goes wrong on a site goes wrong below it. We have been testing ground across the Riverina since 1992, and we keep the whole job in one place so nothing is lost between a driller, a laboratory and an engineer who have never met.

Our own rigs

A truck and trailer-mounted fleet, so the drilling is scheduled and run by our own crews.

Engineers in-house

Qualified geotechnical engineers on staff to interpret the results and sign the report.

NATA accredited

Accreditation 4679, covering over 130 test methods across the three laboratories.
