Engineering Consulting Services
Geotechnical Investigation
Terra Found delivers comprehensive geotechnical investigations for residential and commercial projects. Our capabilities include drilling and sampling for residential developments, installation of groundwater monitoring wells, in‑situ testing, and coordination of laboratory testing programs and geotechnical monitoring. We provide detailed interpretative reports that translate ground conditions into practical engineering advice, helping clients make informed design and construction decisions.
Geotechnical design and inspections
Our geotechnical design services cover retaining wall design, slope stability assessments, landslide risk assessments, pile design, subsidence evaluations, settlement estimation, finite element modelling, and earthworks recommendations. During construction, we support projects with rock face mapping, anchor design, trench inspections, bearing capacity assessments, and construction certification to ensure compliance, safety, and performance throughout the build.
Civil Engineering
Terra Found provides civil engineering services including cut‑and‑fill plans, earthworks design, long and cross sections, and stormwater‑related assessments. We also prepare impact assessments for public assets and Sydney Water utilities and infrastructure, ensuring developments meet authority requirements while maintaining constructability and cost efficiency.
Structural Engineering
Our structural engineering services include sheet pile design, structural drafting, and preparation of dilapidation reports. We support builders, developers, and asset owners with practical, buildable solutions that integrate seamlessly with geotechnical and civil design requirements.
