Forensic Engineers - Soil Testing & Geotechnical Expertise

Real-World Soil Testing experience is essential for Structural Engineer Subsidence Investigations.

Forensic Engineers has decades of that experience including;

  • soil test drilling
  • soil lab testing
  • soil descriptions
  • site classifications
  • footing and slab designs; strip, pad and edge beam footings, conventional and waffle pod slabs
  • deep footing piering; conventional concrete piers, push-piles, small diameter driven timber piles and steel screw piles
  • Foundation Underpinning; conventional concrete, polyurethane resin, timber piles and steel screw piers.

And our regional knowledge of regional ground conditions is second-to-none, including areas with highly plastic clays soils, poorly compacted land fill, alluvial deposits, compressible soils, or organic and acid-sulphate soils.

Our hands-on geotechnical experience is extensive. That’s why Forensic Engineers are the best choice for Structural Engineer Reports for subsidence and house foundation problems.
