Description
NZS 3604:2011 Timber-framed buildings sets out the criteria for ‘good ground’ for buildings to be constructed using the standard. A Scala penetrometer can be used to help assess the site of a proposed building to determine whether it meets the requirements of good ground. This bulletin provides practical guidance on when and how to use a Scala penetrometer and updates and replaces Bulletin 438 of the same name.
