Cairns Geotechnical Engineering for Small and Large Projects

Geotechnical Engineering in Cairns is the science that explains the mechanics of soil and rock and its applications to the development of humankind. It includes, without being limited to, the analysis, design and construction of foundations, slopes, retaining structures, embankments, roadways, tunnels, levees, wharves, landfills and other systems that are made of or are supported by soil or rock.

All geotechnical reports need to be certified by a Registered Professional Engineer of QLD (RPEQ)

Assessing a slope’s stability is a challenging yet important aspect of civil engineering.

To ensure that development in any areas of potential instability or landslide is safe, local governments are trying to ensure risks are avoided or minimised 

ICE International has 40 years of local experience in dealing with steep and unstable areas and can provide Geotechnical Slope Stability assessments and reports.

Law changes to requirements:

In the last 10 years, Building Requirements have changed in relation to site classifications and slope stability.

Our Geotechnical Engineers and Engineering Geologists are trained in site investigation and mapping techniques to allow the development of models that can be used in the assessment of the slope stability of sites. Whether this assessment requires the use of a broad-scale Landslide Risk Management technique or the use of sophisticated and validated computer programs for the assessment of specific slope stability issues, Soil Surveys has the capability to either provide you with the understanding to make engineering decisions on handling these issues.
