Geotechnical Engineer questions, answered for Castle Hill

When do I need a geotechnical engineer for a Castle Hill site?

You need a geotechnical engineer for any Castle Hill project with excavation deeper than 3 metres, foundations bearing on variable soils, retaining walls or shoring near boundaries, or any construction near Sydney Water or TfNSW assets. Geotechnical engineers run site investigations, classify the soil and rock profile, design foundation systems, and certify ground stability for council DA and CC approvals.

What kind of foundations work best in Castle Hill?

Bringelly Shale and Wianamatta Shale residual clays, locally reactive, with weathered shale near surface. Sydney Metro Northwest tunnel influence and rail-authority sign-offs are common scope items on tower projects.
