Our Services
Civil Engineering
Traditionally, the civil engineering discipline was a wide area of practice covering several key sub-disciplines ranging from stormwater drainage, structural, road, rail and traffic engineering to name a few. However, overtime the term has "trimmed" its industry wide definition with sub-disciplines such as stormwater drainage and structural branching off into their own.
To keep with current industry definitions and associations as well as for the purpose of categorising our work, the civil engineering services we provide include, but is not limited to the following:
- Driveway design
- Pavement design
- Geometric road design
- At grade carpark design
Stormwater Engineering
Stormwater drainage is an integral part of the overall civil engineering discipline dealing with the safe, effective and compliant method of stormwater collection and disposal. All developments will require adequate stormwater management systems to manage rainfall and runoff from a site. The resulting design will be governed by several factors such as the type of development, upstream and downstream catchment conditions, site conditions as well as Council and regulatory requirements, with specifications varying between Council's.
We offer stormwater drainage design services for all types of developments, with examples of some of the work we perform listed below:
- Stormwater drainage design including roof, surface and inground drainage systems
- Basement pumpout drainage systems
- On site detention (OSD) modelling and design
- Stormwater quality (pollutant runoff) modelling and design
- Absorption trenches
- Catchment Studies
- Flood Studies
- Flood Evacuation Plans
- Erosion and Sediment Control Plans
Structural Engineering
Structural engineering, another key sub-discipline of civil engineering, focusses on the design and engineering of structural members necessary for the adequate support and stability of structures. These structural members can be in plain sight such as a brick wall transferring vertical loads from the storey and/or roof above, or they could be hidden beneath finishing elements such as roof tiles and rendered walls.
Some examples of the structural design work we do is listed below:
- Ground floor slabs (raft, waffle, infill etc)
- Suspended slabs
- First floor framing
- Roof framing
- Steel framing
- Timber framing
- Retaining walls
- Dilapidation Reports
- Alterations and Additions
