Frequently Asked

Geotechnical Engineer questions, answered for Hurstville

When do I need a geotechnical engineer for a Hurstville site?
You need a geotechnical engineer for any Hurstville 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.
