Residential.
Our geotechnical site investigations give homeowners, builders, and designers the foundation information they need for safe and compliant construction.
We carry out borehole drilling, sampling, and analysis to determine soil strength, reactivity, groundwater conditions, and any underlying risks.
All work is completed in accordance with AS 2870 and other relevant standards to produce accurate site classifications and practical footing recommendations. Whether you're building a new home or extending an existing one, our reports help prevent costly issues and ensure your project starts on solid ground.
Developments that will typically require a soil test include:
Knockdown rebuilds,
Extension or renovation of an existing dwelling,
Townhouse, unit, dual occupancy, and subdivision projects,
The construction of in-ground swimming pools/spas, garages, sheds, decks, etc.
The excavation of basements and cellars.
Commercial.
We deliver reliable geotechnical investigations for commercial building projects across Melbourne, from retail developments to multi-unit sites and mixed-use structures. Our work includes borehole drilling, soil profiling, strength assessments, groundwater observations, and recommendations for footing and pavement design.
All investigations follow relevant Australian Standards and provide engineers and designers with detailed, practical information for safe and cost-efficient construction. Whether you’re in the early planning stage or preparing for permit approval, our reports are clear, timely, and tailored to the specific requirements of commercial development sites.
Industrial.
Industrial builds require a higher level of ground assessment, and we provide the data needed to support warehouses, factories, loading areas, and heavy-use infrastructure. Our investigations examine subgrade strength, fill conditions, slab support requirements, and any potential geotechnical risks that could affect long-term performance.
We supply detailed recommendations for footing systems, pavement design, drainage considerations, and construction staging where required. Our thorough approach helps reduce unexpected ground issues, improve durability, and ensure your project proceeds with confidence from design through to construction.
Government.
We conduct geotechnical investigations for local government, public infrastructure works, and community facilities throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria. This includes assessments for roads, pavements, drainage upgrades, civil structures, and council-managed buildings.
Our investigations provide accurate soil data, material classifications, and engineering recommendations to support safe design and long-term asset performance. We operate with full insurance coverage and adhere to the relevant Australian Standards, procurement requirements, and reporting formats expected for government and municipal projects.
