Services
Geotechnical Engineering
We Specialise in Geotechnical Engineering & Reporting
We strive to design safe and effective retention systems and foundations, employing our extensive expertise and experience and a pragmatic approach. From investigation, to reporting, to designing and implementing solutions, we provide industry-leading geotechnical services within New Zealand.
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical inspections, site observations, and testing are an essential requirement from council before embarking on many kinds of project. They are undertaken during the construction phase by specialist geotechnical engineers. It is always important to confirm that the ground conditions are appropriate for the kind of development you are proposing, and that it is possible to build adequate foundations in the area.
The following are some of the services we offer:
- Inspection of building platform subgrade
- Pad foundation/shallow strip excavation inspection
- Bored pipe hole assessment
- Earthworks monitoring and inspection
- Hard-fill density observation and floor slabs underneath testing
- CBR testing of road, pavement, access way etc.
- Slope stability assessment
- Excavation support system design
- Seepage analysis of water retaining structures
- Dynamic design parameters analysis for foundations
- Remediation of problematic soil conditions
- Site improvement systems design
- Pile load test analysis

Geotechnical Engineering
A Geotechnical or Soil report is a mandatory requirement for building development as a part of Building Consent Process.Commissioning a Geotechnical Investigation Report minimizes the risk of future foundation issues or stability concerns. This report also provides the information required by architects and structural engineers to continue to the design process.
Examples of some types of projects which usually require a geotechnical report include:
- Residential and Commercial (remedial works, addition and renovation, alteration, multi-story buildings, new projects)
- Land Development
- Large, medium and small scale subdivision
- Infrastructure and Public works (pipelines, pavements, roads)
Our geotechnical engineers investigate a site by drilling a series of boreholes to estimate the weight-bearing capacity of the land, as well as taking soil samples for various laboratory tests. The results of these tests are used to assess the strength and stability of the property.
The geotechnical report presents the findings of site inspection and outlines the ground condition assessment while providing specific recommendations for earthworks, foundations, and retaining walls. Need more information about geotechnical reports? Please contact us for further information.
