Chartered geotechnical investigation services in Western Australia: practical, standards-compliant design for gold and battery minerals processing with constructability and production continuity built in for brownfield and greenfield programmes.
Whether your asset is in Perth, a regional industrial centre or a remote WA mine site, we scale deliverables to your study gate — PFS and FS inputs, IFC packages, integrity inspections and construction-phase RFIs.
On Pilbara iron ore and port infrastructure and foundation design input for port and refinery structures, our engineers work to Australian Standards, client specifications and project-specific loading — including crane lifts, conveyor dynamic effects and corrosion allowances appropriate to Western Australia's coastal, tropical or arid environments where relevant.
We deliver geotechnical investigation to applicable Australian Standards and client specifications, with CPEng, NER and RPEQ credentials where your project requires professional sign-off.
Geotechnical Investigations for WA industries
Our WA portfolio reflects the mix of mining, processing and export infrastructure across Western Australia. For geotechnical investigations, we focus on scopes that affect production continuity: structures, platforms, foundations and civil works that must perform under live-plant constraints.
- Iron ore and bulk export infrastructure
- Gold and lithium mining
- Ports and materials handling
- Remote processing plants
- 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 Western Australia
We support projects across Perth, Pilbara, Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Port Hedland and throughout Western Australia. Representative WA 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.
Distance from our Queensland and New South Wales offices is managed with structured site visits, video inspections where appropriate, and close coordination with your construction manager. For WA geotechnical investigation, we align hold points with concrete pours, steel erection and tie-in shutdowns so design intent is verified before load is applied.
