Nunese delivers geotechnical investigation for Bowen Basin coal infrastructure across Queensland (QLD) — from study-stage layouts through detailed design, certification and site support on operating mine, port and refinery assets.
Our QLD work routinely includes foundation design input for port and refinery structures, coordinated with geotechnical, mechanical and process interfaces so platform levels, foundations and structural steel align before steel is ordered or concrete is poured.
Typical QLD scopes include site classification and slope stability input, with drawings and calculations issued for certifier review, procurement and construction sequencing. We document load paths, design actions and interface assumptions so steel fabricators, concrete contractors and site teams can build without ambiguity.
With an office at Tugun (Gold Coast), Nunese provides local accountability for QLD clients while drawing on national delivery experience across mining, ports and refineries. Contact us to discuss scope, programme and fee for your geotechnical investigation requirements.
Geotechnical Investigations for QLD industries
Queensland heavy industry spans coal mining (bowen basin), gold and metals mining and adjacent sectors. The scopes below summarise where our geotechnical investigation is most often applied on QLD assets — aligned to the outcomes we routinely deliver for owners and EPCM teams.
- Coal mining (Bowen Basin)
- Gold and metals mining
- LNG and industrial processing
- Ports and materials handling
- Investigation briefs and coordination with drilling contractors
- Foundation recommendations for structures and earthworks
- Site classification and slope stability input
- footings for processing plant and conveyor supports
- earthworks and embankment risk for mine sites
Regions we serve in Queensland
We support projects across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Gladstone, Mackay, Bowen Basin and throughout Queensland. Representative QLD experience includes port and mining infrastructure, mineral processing plants, and industrial brownfield upgrades — with deliverables tailored to remote access, cyclone or coastal exposure, and operating-site constraints where they apply.
Beyond Gladstone, we support remote and multi-contractor sites where access windows, crane availability and survey control drive the engineering programme. Geotechnical Investigations packages are sized to your gate — from single-structure remedial works to multi-area brownfield upgrades with staged IFC releases.

QLD — common questions
Yes. Nunese delivers geotechnical investigation throughout Queensland (QLD) for mining, ports, refineries and heavy industry clients — including Bowen Basin coal infrastructure and gold and copper mine processing.
We support projects across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Gladstone, Mackay, Bowen Basin, Mount Isa, Townsville, Central Queensland and other Queensland locations. Scope is tailored to site access, study stage and your delivery model (owner, EPCM or site direct).
Yes. Where Queensland registration is required, our Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) provides design certification on structural and civil deliverables in accordance with project requirements.
Contact us with your project location in Queensland, study stage and key deliverables. We will confirm availability, propose a scope and provide a fee aligned to your programme — whether you need study support, detailed design or site-phase engineering.
