Geotechnical Engineering
Investigations, design, and construction support
Geotechnical Investigations
Comprehensive site investigations are conducted to characterise subsurface soil and groundwater conditions required for safe and efficient project design. Investigations are tailored to site conditions and project requirements and may include borehole drilling, sampling, in situ testing, and laboratory analysis.
Ground Improvement and Site Preparation
CSR Consultants provides practical solutions to improve soft, sensitive, or unsuitable ground conditions to support proposed development. Ground improvement methods are selected based on subsurface conditions, loading requirements, and constructability considerations.
Services may include preloading, surcharging, soil densification, deep ground improvement, and other ground treatment techniques to prepare sites for foundation support.
Geotechnical Hazard Assessment
CSR Consultants provides geotechnical hazard assessments, including slope stability evaluations and geohazard risk assessments, to support development and land-use decisions. Services also include investigation and monitoring of slope instability and failures, along with the design of mitigation and stabilisation measures.
Excavation and Shoring Design
CSR Consultants specialises in the design of temporary and permanent excavation support systems for a range of site conditions. Shoring solutions are selected to address stability, groundwater control, adjacent structures, and construction sequencing.
Systems may include cantilever and tie-back shoring, shotcrete walls, sheet pile walls, soldier pile walls, secant pile walls, diaphragm walls, soil mixing, and jet grout cut-off systems.
Foundation Design
CSR Consultants provides foundation design services for a wide range of structures and subsurface conditions. Solutions range from shallow foundations supported on competent soils to deep foundation systems, including driven piles, drilled shafts, and other pile-supported systems.
Foundation recommendations are developed based on site conditions, structural loading, and constructability considerations.
Earth Structures
CSR Consultants has experience in the design and assessment of temporary and permanent earth-retaining structures. Services include the design of retaining walls, reinforced soil structures, and other earth-supported systems required to maintain stability during construction and over the service life of the project.
