Geotechnical Engineering & Consulting in Waikato 

Every site presents different conditions and considerations. Our geotechnical engineers assess the ground conditions of a site and provide practical recommendations to help clients make informed decisions throughout their project. 

Our geotechnical services include:

• Geotechnical investigations - Assessing site conditions and identifying potential ground-related considerations before development begins. 

• Geotechnical assessments - Providing professional assessment and advice to support planning, design and development. 

• Geotechnical reporting - Clear, practical geotechnical reports with recommendations relevant to your project. 

• Foundation design and recommendations - Providing geotechnical information and recommendations to support appropriate foundation solutions. 

• Slope stability and erosion control - Assessing ground stability and providing advice for sites where erosion, slope stability or other ground hazards are a consideration. 

• Earthworks and construction monitoring - Supporting projects during construction through monitoring, inspections and certification. 

Whether you require a geotechnical engineer in Hamilton or geotechnical consulting elsewhere in the Waikato, our team can provide support throughout the project lifecycle. 

Local Waikato Experience 

Our Hamilton-based team has extensive experience working across the Waikato, giving us a practical understanding of the region and its varied development requirements. 

We have supported a range of significant projects, including the Fonterra Te Rapa Industrial Precinct, where we undertook geotechnical investigation, hazard assessment, stability analysis and groundwater monitoring for a 91-hectare industrial development. 

We have also provided geotechnical services for the Kerepehi Water Treatment Reservoirs, including liquefaction analysis, foundation recommendations and preload assessments, as well as the Cambridge Water Treatment Plant, where our work included geotechnical investigation, foundation design reporting, earthworks and construction monitoring. 

Geotechnical Support From Investigation to Construction 

A geotechnical investigation is often an important early step in understanding what a site can support and identifying potential issues before they become costly problems. 

Our team works alongside clients, designers and contractors to provide geotechnical advice at the appropriate stages of a project. From initial assessment and reporting through to foundation recommendations, earthworks and construction monitoring, we aim to provide clear advice that helps keep projects moving.
