Investigations

We conduct thorough geotechnical investigations to assess subsurface conditions at your project site. By analysing soil composition, rock characteristics, and groundwater behaviour, we deliver essential data to guide design and construction, ensuring your project’s safety, stability, and cost-efficiency.

Accurate groundwater analysis is crucial for projects with deep excavations or below-ground structures. Our experts examine groundwater levels, pore pressure and seepage risks, providing the data needed to mitigate potential problems like water intrusion or uplift forces that can threaten the stability of your foundation.

We conduct detailed slope stability assessments to ensure the safety of structures located on or near sloped terrain. We assess the risks of landslides, soil movement,and potential failures, providing tailored solutions to mitigate hazards for both natural and engineered slopes.

Our soil infiltration testing evaluates the rate at which water permeates the soil,providing critical data for stormwater management and drainage design. By analysing the soil's absorption capacity, we help you implement effective solutions to prevent flooding, erosion, and water logging, ensuring sustainable site development.

We specialize in pavement thickness design to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your pavement structures. Our team assesses traffic loads, soil conditions, and environmental factors to develop tailored design solutions that minimize deformation and maintenance needs,providing a durable pavement system compliant to industry standards

Construction Phase Services

We offer expert design and review services for shoring systems to ensure your project's excavations remain stable an safe. By analysing soil conditions and load requirements, we develop effective shoring designs that meet both safety standards and project-specific needs.

Our working platform designs focus on providing safe and stable ground for heavy machinery and construction activities. By assessing site conditions, we create platform solutions that enhance safety and efficiency during the construction phase, while minimizing the risk of equipment failure or instability.

Our team provides specialized engineering assessments to address any unique or complex challenges your construction project may encounter. From foundation assessments to structural stability reviews, we ensure that all aspects of your project are designed and executed with precision.

Site Inspections

Trench stability inspections are essential for ensuring the safety of excavation sites. We assess soil conditions and potential hazards to identify risks of collapse and implement effective protective measures. By conducting thorough evaluations, we help you maintain compliance with safety regulations and protect workers during excavation projects.

We assess the bearing capacity of the ground to determine whether it can support the loads imposed by foundations and structures. This ensures that your project is built on a solid foundation, minimizing the risk of settlement or failure.

Our foundation inspections provide detailed evaluations during and after construction to ensure that the foundation is performing as expected. We evaluate structural elements and soil conditions to identify potential issues such as settlement, cracking, or moisture intrusion. We check for any signs of distress or movement to maintain structural integrity.

We offer comprehensive inspections of both piles and piers to verify that they meet the project’s specifications and load-bearing requirements. This service is essential for ensuring that foundation elements are correctly installed and functioning as intended.

Our earthworks inspections ensure that soil compaction, grading, and material placement are carried out to design specifications. This helps prevent future issues such as settlement, erosion, or drainage problems, contributing to the long-term success of your project.

Subdivision & Commercial Developments

Our compaction testing services adhere to AS1289 and RMS specifications, ensuring that pavement materials achieve optimal density and stability. We verify compliance with industry standards and provide feedback on site to ensure your projects meet their required compaction specification, minimizing the risk of settlement and enhancing the strength and durability of your construction project.

We provide compaction testing for bulk earthworks projects, ensuring that work on site meets job and council specific requirements. Our team can work on level 1 or level 2 projects as required and provide level 1 final reports to concisely summarise the works undertaken onsite.

Our strip inspections involve a thorough examination of exposed soil layers to assess subsurface conditions and material properties. This process is critical for understanding site characteristics and identifying potential issues before construction begins. By providing detailed evaluations, we help inform design decisions and ensure the structural integrity of your project.

We provide comprehensive site classification services in accordance with AS2870 standards,assessing foundation conditions to inform both residential and commercial building designs. By analysing soil reactivity and movement potential, we ensure your foundation system is engineered to accommodate any ground shifts,promoting long-term structural stability.

We conduct post earthworks salinity assessments to evaluate soil salinity levels after bulk earthworks completion and site preparation activities. By analysing the impact of earthworks on soil salinity, we identify potential erosion risks to structural integrity. Our detailed reports provide classification to individual lots on site, as well as recommendations for managing salinity, promoting sustainable land use and protecting long-term project viability.

We provide Benkelman Beam testing to evaluate the deflection characteristics of flexible pavements under load. This testing method provides measurements of pavement performance, helping to assess structural integrity and identify areas requiring maintenance or rehabilitation. Our detailed analysis supports informed decision-making for long-lasting pavement design and management.

Hydraulic conductivity & permeability testing is often required on detention basins and areas of drainage on site. We provide testing to show the flow rate of the varying layers in these locations, providing critical data on water movement through subsurface materials, which is needed for effective groundwater management and environmental assessments. This information helps inform design and compliance with projects that require reliable water flow management.
