Geotechnical Engineering was formed in 1972 upon a
management buyout of the operations of Foundation
Engineering a subsidiary of Costain, which had
operated in Australia from 1960. The ownership and
management of the Company has not changed
significantly since that date. Thus Geotechnical
Engineering provides services in the Geotechnical
sciences and specialist construction with a background
dating from 1960.
Our
Company has grown steadily to achieve our current
annual turnover of over $25m.
Geotechnical Engineering is a unique specialist civil
contractor. We undertake geotechnical works such as
slope stabilization, rock fall protection systems,
water well & mineral drilling, grouting, ground

piles, sheet piles and a range of ground improvement
techniques. We also undertake shotcrete construction,
