Relevant Reporting

My geotechnical reports are prepared to meet the unique requirements of each project and purpose, offering insights into soil conditions, foundation recommendations, and mitigation strategies for geotechnical hazards. I can prepare geotechnical reports for:

• New Developments: I offer comprehensive geotechnical assessments to inform the design and construction of new residential, commercial, and industrial developments, ensuring foundations are suited to the specific soil conditions of the site.
• Building and Resource Consents: My reports support applications for building and resource consents, detailing the geotechnical considerations necessary for compliance with local and national regulations.
• Educational and Commercial Developments: I specialize in geotechnical reports that address the specific needs and challenges of schools and commercial properties, ensuring a safe environment for future occupants.
• Due Diligence: For clients considering property purchases or investments, I provide thorough geotechnical due diligence reports that highlight potential risks and land suitability, enabling informed decision-making.

Considerations

Each geotechnical report I produce is the result of an appropriately detailed site investigation considering the project context, including soil testing, a review of historical data, and assessment of potential geohazards such as liquefaction, flooding, and land instability. My approach is always tailored to the specific needs of the project, considering factors such as:

• Site History and Use: I review historical land use and aerial mapping to identify any previous activities that may influence current ground conditions.
• Geological and Hydrological Conditions: Desktop studies and field investigations, I assess the geological context and groundwater levels, critical for foundation design and land development strategies.
• Risk Assessment: I evaluate the risk of geohazards, including liquefaction potential, flood risk, and erosion, providing recommendations to mitigate these risks effectively.
• Foundation Design Recommendations: Based on the findings, I advise on suitable foundation solutions, whether for shallow or deep foundations, to ensure structural stability and compliance with building codes.
