GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS It is often a requirement of the local council that a Geotech Report or Soil Report be provided for a building development as part of the Building Consent process. PRE PURCHASE APPRAISAL If you are considering selling or purchasing a property, it is prudent to have the property checked for possible problems with building foundations or ground instability. EARTHWORKS MONITORING Earthworks are the process of moving soil from one area to another. This may appear to be a simple process, but is actually an engineering activity that requires skilful operation.  

Geotechnical engineering has been central to the growth of our company. For over 50 years we have offered specialist consultancy services, and have worked in New Zealand, South East Asia and the Pacific. The range of geotechnical services we offer continues to expand to meet increasing project complexity. We often work closely with other consultants and contractors as part of a project team. We have a large team of highly experienced engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers. They are supported by a suite of design software and field testing equipment.
