Geocon Soil Testing Limited
Mark T Mitchell has been in practice as a specialist Consulting Geotechnical Engineer for in excess of 30 years. This practice is based in Hamilton and covers primarily the Waikato-Bay of Plenty-Coromandel-King Country areas but with occasional projects arising throughout New Zealand. Clients include City and County Councils, Government organisations, private companies and individuals. Since the establishments of the practice, in excess of 12,000 projects have been undertaken, the greater portion of which originates from on-going relationships with other professionals or companies, or by referrals from individuals in these organisations. Associate company Geocon Soil Testing Ltd was established about 28 years ago as a service company to Mark T Mitchell and to provide a soil testing service that can be engaged directly by other consulting engineering organisations. Geocon Soil Testing Ltd in those circumstances presents bore hole and other test data directly to the engineer-client for their own interpretations. Geocon Soil Testing Ltd operates two hydraulically powered drilling rigs, each capable of drilling to 12-metres depth; one tractor mounted and the other based on a Hilux utility.
