A successful project starts with a clear understanding of ground conditions and how the ground is likely to behave.

Kemp Geotechnical Consulting provides geotechnical services for residential, industrial, infrastructure, commercial, and infrastructure projects across Australia.

Our investigations support design decisions from residential footing systems through to larger infrastructure works, helping manage risk and meet approval requirements.

Foundations and Earthworks Recommendations for bearing capacities, settlement predictions, compaction guidelines and fill specifications

Compliance Documentation ensuring local council and state regulatory requirements are met

Approach

    • We use drilling rigs or excavators to collect representative soil and rock samples.

    • In-situ testing, such as Standard Penetration Tests, and groundwater monitoring wells are installed where required to collect site-specific data.

    • Samples are tested in accordance with relevant Australian Standards (including AS 1289) to determine soil classification, shear strength, consolidation behavior, and chemical properties.

    • We interpret field and laboratory data to develop design parameters and provide clear geotechnical recommendations for earthworks, foundations, and any required remediation.
