Smart Solutions
from the Ground Up

SERVICE // 01

Geotechnical Investigation

We deliver detailed assessments of ground conditions to support safe, compliant, and cost-effective project planning. Combining both invasive and non-invasive methods, our investigations form the basis of confident design and construction decisions. Services are offered across New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), South Australia (SA), and nationwide, with solutions tailored to meet the geological, regulatory, and environmental demands of each location.

Key capabilities include:

  • Subsurface material analysis
  • Groundwater monitoring and flow modelling
  • Slope stability and landslip risk assessment
  • Site classifications (e.g. AS2870)
  • Acid sulfate and salinity profiling
  • Site investigation, soil testing, foundation assessment

Design

Geotechnical design at Apex is driven by innovation, compliance, and practicality. Every solution is modelled and tested using advanced numerical modelling and finite element analysis to ensure integrity, constructability, and value. Our approach integrates cutting-edge simulations with site-specific parameters to deliver solutions that are both technically sound and construction-ready.

Services cover:

  • Foundation and footing systems (deep and shallow)
  • Retaining wall engineering (shoring and excavation support
  • Pavement design consultancy and soft ground improvements
  • Structural foundation design (platforms and embankments)

Supervision

Expert engineering supervision ensures construction adheres to geotechnical intent while maintaining regulatory and safety standards. This includes quality assurance for earthworks and materials, as well as certification and documentation to support compliance. Engineers act as technical liaisons on-site, bridging design with delivery.

Site inspections services include:

  • Trench stability inspections
  • Bearing capacity assessments
  • Foundation inspections
  • Pile/crane platform assessments
  • Pile integrity testing
  • Pile/pier inspections
  • Plate load testing
  • Earthworks inspections
  • Construction quality assurance, compliance certification, engineering inspection services

Cost Estimation

Accurate cost planning begins with a strong technical foundation. Apex delivers detailed cost estimation services underpinned by real-world construction insight, helping clients plan with confidence and avoid scope creep. Our expertise spans early-stage feasibility studies, value engineering strategies to optimise designs, and full project cost management through every phase of delivery.

Inclusions:

  • Feasibility and early-stage costing
  • Scope-based cost breakdowns
  • Value engineering and design alternatives
  • Lifecycle cost assessments
