Our leading geocivil consulting engineers specialise in geotech work and offer a comprehensive range of geotechnical investigation services to meet your specific needs.
With thousands of successful projects under our belt, Haigh Workman has built a solid reputation for excellence in the industry. Many parts of the Far North have been subject to a turbulent geological history and consequently can be subject to weakness, slow deep creep and/or sudden slippage – particularly where those soils are exposed to water logging and erosion.
Collectively, our geotechnical engineers have many years of experience with the variable local geology and in identifying where these risks can occur. We therefore have an intimate understanding of the Northland environment and a deep understanding of the local soil conditions, and can provide geotechnical advice and cost-effective solutions for difficulties on your site.
This experienced team also specialises in providing pre-purchase geotechnical advice, retaining wall design, slip repair advice, and geotechnical construction monitoring.
We are one of the leading geotechnical companies in the region, equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
We routinely use slope stability assessment software to assess natural stability, the effect of proposed modifications to land, and to develop stabilisation solutions. We regularly review new technologies to keep up-to-date with the growing range of solutions available.
We understand the importance of a thorough geotechnical investigation. That’s why we employ the latest geotechnical investigation methods and adhere to industry best standards, guidelines and specifications.
Our geotechnical site investigation techniques allow us to gather accurate data to assess the stability and suitability of the ground for your geotechnical projects.
Understanding why geotechnical ground investigation is important is crucial in ensuring the safety and success of your construction endeavours in the Far North, Mid North, the Bay of Islands and Whangārei. We provide a detailed geotechnical assessment that outlines our findings and recommendations, enabling you to make informed decisions.
Following major storms in 2007, 2011 and again more recently, Haigh Workman was involved in many slip assessments and repairs near houses and road-sides, working within Earthquake Commission guidelines.
We’re also pleased to have been able to put our geotechnical skills to good use for the Earthquake Commission in Christchurch following the earthquakes of September 2011 and February 2012, carrying out geotechnical investigations and land damage assessment.
