Civil Engineering

Civil engineering requirements can vary greatly depending on the scope and complexity of your project. Our experience includes on-site wastewater and stormwater design, flood analysis, road design, and public wastewater and stormwater infrastructure extensions.

Whether for new developments, subdivisions, or individual lots, council requirements can often be complex and project-specific. We work closely with clients to provide practical, compliant engineering solutions and guidance throughout the design and approval process. Below are some of the areas we can assist with.

  • Road design and construction supervision
  • Subdivisional design and construction supervision
  • Driveway design and construction supervision
  • Monitoring and compliance for infrastructure works
  • Vehicle entrance design and construction supervision
  • Common Access Way design and construction supervision
  • Permeable paving for driveway stormwater controls
  • Wastewater capacity for Public networks
  • Peat soil sensitive design for residential works/developments

Geotechnical Investigation

Geotechnical investigations are often required by councils, architects, designers, and other industry professionals, with requirements varying depending on the site and project scope. Understanding the ground conditions and soil profile of a site is a critical part of ensuring a safe, practical, and compliant design.

Professional geotechnical input is particularly important for slope stability assessments, earthworks management, foundation design, and evaluating site suitability for development. We work closely with clients and project teams to provide clear recommendations and practical solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each site.

  • Geotechnical site investigations
  • Slope stability analysis
  • Earthwork design and construction supervision
  • Timber retaining wall designs
  • Earthworks consent applications
  • Ground testing
  • Producer statement for design and construction PS1 PS4
  • Remedial works design
  • Engineering Assessments/forensic analysis for site/building failures
  • Geotechnical investigations for peat soils
  • Sediment control designs

Structural Engineering

Structural engineers are responsible for ensuring the strength of specific areas relating to buildings, retaining walls et cetera.

  • Building foundations
  • Retaining walls
  • Ground beams

Engineering certainty beneath every project.
