Freyburg Square Redevelopment Location: Auckland CBD Overview: A very challenging project in the city centre. The site was heavily congested with live services of all types and the subgrade varied from stiff natural soils to highly variable non-engineered fill of several metres depth. Close inspection of the foundation subgrades and constant liaison with the Project Managers and Contractor were required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9ba247c4246b3c294a09d8/1591749249697-ZUJORJPU6XVTNUSDNHBQ/MG_5061-1024x683.jpg Our Projects - Buckley Avenue, Hobsonville Location: Proposed Retirement Village, Buckley Avenue, Hobsonville Overview: Soil & Rock Consultants were engaged to undertake a geotechnical site investigation for the proposed retirement village at Buckley Ave, Hobsonville. The principal objectives of the investigation were to develop an appropriate geotechnical model of the site so that recommendations with regard to land stability, foundation and retaining wall design can be made and geotechnical constraints to the proposed development be identified. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9ba247c4246b3c294a09d8/1591749534331-R5BMJCQ9XDB5CA5NZ5KQ/Glen-Esk-Stream.jpg Our Projects - Glen Esk Stream Location: Glen Esk Stream, Piha – Bank Stability Analysis. Overview: Soil & Rock Consultants were engaged by Auckland Council to assess the stability of the banks and provide an appropriate hydrogeological model of the site to assess runoff, flooding and potential scouring of the proposed re-contoured slopes and gullies. The assessment involved a desktop study encompassing available data analysis and walkover inspections of the terrain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e9ba247c4246b3c294a09d8/1591749320565-61OOZKC6V6SPXWGJ7TR2/Fred-Taylor-Drive.jpg Our Projects - 19 Fred Taylor Drive Location: 19 Fred Taylor Drive, Whenuapai Overview: Soil & Rock Consultants were engaged to undertake a geotechnical site investigation for the proposed commercial subdivision and roadway construction at Area 1 & Area 2.
