What We Do
Civil geotechnical engineering consultants
Design excellence for mining and infrastructure
Our geotechnical engineers have extensive experience in the design and construction of mining and civil infrastructure projects across Australia, Canada, Africa and South-East Asia. We excel in assessing and managing geotechnical risks, optimising design, and ensuring safe and efficient mining operations.
From planning and feasibility studies to site investigations, design, auditing and construction supervision, our methods are designed to optimise productivity and capital expenditure. Our dedicated team has the skills and knowledge to overcome any engineering challenge while prioritising environmental integrity.
Civil Geotechnical Engineering
We combine geotechnical, hydrological and environmental engineering expertise to provide comprehensive design solutions for mining infrastructure including open pits, slopes, mine waste management and stormwater infrastructure. We also have experience delivering non-process mine infrastructure including haul roads, railways, airstrips, pipelines, pump stations, and water and earth retainment structures.
With our advanced aerial surveying technology and immersive tailings management software, we provide an unparalleled level of accuracy and detail that enhances our geotechnical expertise. This, combined with our field investigation capabilities, empowers clients with exceptional data insights to minimise risks and maximise operational efficiency from conception to commissioning.
