1. Site Investigation and Borehole Drilling

We perform detailed site investigations using borehole drilling, sampling, and field testing to assess subsurface conditions and identify suitable foundation depths and types.

2. Soil and Rock Testing

Our in-house laboratory testing includes moisture content, Atterberg limits, triaxial, and shear strength tests, providing accurate parameters for design and analysis.

3. Foundation Design and Recommendations

From shallow footings to deep pile systems, our engineers recommend the most suitable and cost-effective foundation solutions based on soil conditions and structural requirements.

4. Slope Stability and Retaining Wall Design

We assess slope stability, perform geotechnical analysis, and design retaining wall systems that ensure long-term safety in both residential and infrastructure settings.

5. Pavement and Earthwork Design

OzGeos provides pavement thickness design, subgrade improvement recommendations, and earthwork assessments for roads, industrial sites, and subdivisions.

6. Geotechnical Reporting and Compliance

Our detailed geotechnical reports meet AS 1726, AS 2870, and AS 2159 standards, ensuring compliance and smooth project approvals from local councils and authorities.

Why Geotechnical Engineering is Crucial for Melbourne Projects

Melbourne’s soil profile is highly variable — reactive clays, soft sediments, and weathered rock formations can pose serious challenges if not properly assessed.

That’s why every construction project, big or small, should begin with a thorough geotechnical investigation. At OzGeos, our data-driven approach helps identify potential risks early, reducing costly surprises during or after construction.

We ensure your foundation is designed to perform — safely, efficiently, and within budget.
