The Perry Ltd presentation explains the importance of geotechnical testing in construction projects. Geotechnical testing involves assessing the soil's properties to ensure it can support the planned structure. This is done before any design work begins to avoid problems later on. The presentation highlights that geotechnical testing can be done quickly and doesn't disrupt project timelines. They also mention a specific type of testing called Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Testing which is useful for evaluating road and pavement conditions and CBR testing.
