I have used Soil and Rock Consultants for over 8 years as a specialist geotechnical sub consultant.  A large variety of projects have been completed including the difficult and steep Don Buck Road development which included shear keys, groundwater drainage and complex slope stability analysis.  Other projects completed include the large 280 lot Arnack developments in Mangere,  numerous land development projects in Flat Bush and the steep Kaipatiki Road project.  I have always found the staff of Soil and Rock Consultants to be hard working, good communicators and diligent.  I have no hesitation in recommending them for any geotechnical engineering work.
