Geotechnical engineering is a critical part of every construction project. Whether you’re building a residential home or a large-scale commercial project, a geotechnical risk assessment is an essential component of your build.

Geotechnical engineering assesses the behaviour and mechanics of rock and soil to evaluate subsurface conditions and composition of the area where the foundations of any building project are due to be laid. Such an assessment is crucial to ensuring the success, longevity and safety of any building project.

Here at Miyamoto, we undertake project-specific site investigations and testing, evaluate all the data gathered, and develop ground models and soil parameters. We then consult with you to create cost-effective design options that fit your project requirements.

We strive to identify better ways to design, construct, and strengthen structures and environments.

Our approach is to partner with you on your project from conception to completion, ensuring we have a clear understanding of your needs. We tailor our investigations, analysis and design solutions to suit your project, and we’re here to identify and communicate risks and critical aspects to help your project be a success.

With Miyamoto on your team, you can be certain of a robust, cost-effective solution and a successful project.
