Civil Engineering

Civil engineers unlock projects – from meeting planning conditions with local councils through to state authority approvals, our team is driven to get boots on the ground. Whether it’s urban redevelopment, infrastructure or land subdivision, we know the authorities, the processes, and the best-practice approach to deliver your site.

Our civil engineers work across nine offices, providing a ‘big enough but small enough’ approach to consulting – meaning we bring the agility and know-how of local business, backed up by over 100 engineers across the company with a range of technical skills from flooding and drainage through to roads and in-ground utilities coordination.

Long-term partnerships with architects, builders, developers, government representatives, owners, project managers, and town planners have allowed us to deliver thousands of successful civil engineering projects across Australia since 1976.

We help our clients navigate the rising costs of project delivery, reduce design changes, enhance programme management, mitigate variations, and meet high-standard specifications.

We set the most cost-effective site grading strategy to create best value across land subdivision projects, as well as better outcomes for residents.

We optimise your stormwater infrastructure to achieve the required treatment and detention targets and support the local environment, mitigating the risk to downstream and adjacent properties. We understand the cost and complexities of on-site detention, and work with the design team on finding the best outcome.

We use our strong understanding of authority requirements and approval processes to streamline grading and detailing new road infrastructure to service your development.

We fast-track the application and approval process, helping you connect sewer and water infrastructure sooner to keep your project moving, saving time and protecting budgets.

We optimise your developable area and mitigate flood risk by identifying flood risks to your development and local area.

Our Civil Engineer team works closely with our Structural and Integrated Buildings team, helping us deliver well-considered designs to you. Here are a few of the ways we work together:

• OSD tanks – structure and ideal locations
• Retaining wall optimisation – reviewing retention system options with our structural engineers to provide more tailored solutions
• In-ground utilities coordination – coordinating site services including power and gas
• Project verification for RMS/TfNSW – providing a holistic engineering verification service for projects adjacent TfNSW assets, including structural and building services
