Our Griffith laboratory

Griffith was founded in 1916 and has grown into a regional hub for agriculture and food production, served by more than 1,700km of irrigation channels. Aitken Rowe has been the sole local provider of geotechnical testing and investigation here since 1997, marking our second purpose-built NATA accredited laboratory.

Note that site classifications in Griffith are drilled to 4.0m rather than 3.0m, which is why the local price differs.
