Know what is under the site before you build on it

Sixteen years of soil mechanics for residential, commercial and infrastructure projects. Byron Bay based, working across the Northern Rivers and NSW.

Braced deep excavation retention system over water Deep excavation retention, designed and supervised

What we are called in for

From feasibility through to sign-off on site, with the analysis to back the recommendation.

01

Site investigation

A site specific drilling, insitu and laboratory testing program, and a report on what it means for your design.

02

Slope stability

Essential where the development sits on steep ground or a known landslide area.

03

Acid sulfate soils

Assessment where excavation or dewatering will expose iron sulfides to air.

04

Deep excavation retention

We read the architectural, structural and survey drawings and build the geotechnical model from them.

05

Modelling & analysis

Foundations, slope stabilisation, retaining walls, batters, soil nails, anchors, rock bolts and earthworks.

06

Supervision on site

Footing and pier inspections, bearing capacity confirmation, level 1 supervision and rock face inspection.

The work behind the report

Numerical modelling and the ground truth that goes with it.
