Metlifecare – Pinesong
Location: Buildings K & N, 66 Avonleigh Road, Titirangi
Overview:
Soil & Rock Consultants were engaged to undertake a geotechnical site investigation for a slip. The scope of our report encompassed an assessment of the land stability in the area.
The principal objectives of the investigation were to develop an appropriate geotechnical model of the site so that recommendations with regard to land stability and slip remediation design could be made to support a Building Consent application to Council.
Glen Esk Stream
Location: Glen Esk Stream, Piha – Bank Stability Analysis.
Overview:
Soil & Rock Consultants were engaged by Auckland Council to assess the stability of the banks and provide an appropriate hydrogeological model of the site to assess runoff, flooding and potential scouring of the proposed re-contoured slopes and gullies. The assessment involved a desktop study encompassing available data analysis and walkover inspections of the terrain.
Freyburg Square Redevelopment
Location: Auckland CBD
Overview:
A very challenging project in the city centre. The site was heavily congested with live services of all types and the subgrade varied from stiff natural soils to highly variable non-engineered fill of several metres depth. Close inspection of the foundation subgrades and constant liaison with the Project Managers and Contractor were required.

Buckley Avenue, Hobsonville
Location: Proposed Retirement Village, Buckley Avenue, Hobsonville
Overview:
Soil & Rock Consultants were engaged to undertake a geotechnical site investigation for the proposed retirement village at Buckley Ave, Hobsonville. The principal objectives of the investigation were to develop an appropriate geotechnical model of the site so that recommendations with regard to land stability, foundation and retaining wall design can be made and geotechnical constraints to the proposed development be identified.
Ground Improvement
Location: Sydenham, Christchurch
Overview:
Soil & Rock Consultants were engaged to produce a ground improvement design report and carry out inspections during the ground improvement process in which over 500 piles were driven to 5m depth using TTT Products Christchurch Ltd timber piles. Soil & Rock Consultants recommended “closely spaced timber piles” as the ground improvement measure to resist lateral spreading and liquefaction potential following the Christchurch earthquake sequence. The piles were installed by Markovina Pile Driving South Island Ltd.
