Act Geotechnical Engineers

About

Act Geotechnical Engineers is a geotechnical engineering business based in Fyshwick, Canberra. Its work concerns the ground conditions that influence building and civil engineering projects, including the relationship between soil, foundations and the structures they support.

Geotechnical engineering provides an understanding of how ground conditions affect construction decisions. For property owners, designers and construction businesses, this work helps establish a technical basis for considering foundations and other ground-related elements of a project. It connects the characteristics of a site with the engineering requirements of the proposed works.

Services

• Geotechnical investigation and assessment of ground conditions.
• Soil and foundation engineering advice.
• Geotechnical input into footing design.
• Ground-related advice for building and civil works.

The discipline addresses questions about the suitability and behaviour of the ground beneath a project. Geotechnical input helps project participants understand site constraints and consider the implications for foundation planning and design.
