Our Engineering Services

Need support with transport, energy, land development or building projects across Queensland? Here are some of the engineering services we offer from our Brisbane office.

Civil Works Engineering

Our civil engineering and development consultants in Brisbane help shape building sites, subdivisions and industrial developments. Typical work includes bulk earthworks and grading, retaining structures, site drainage, utility corridors and other civil works that prepare land for construction. We can support you from early concept planning through to detailed design and construction-phase queries.

Road Design and Engineering

Our road design and engineering specialists plan and design corridors that keep people and freight moving safely around Queensland. We work on arterial and local roads, intersections and roundabouts, carparks, active transport links and highway upgrades. Always keeping safety, capacity, drainage, flooding and constructability top of mind.

Structural & Building Engineering

Our structural engineers work across new and existing buildings, industrial facilities and infrastructure assets. From designing and assessing building structures, industrial frames, platforms and support systems, to strengthening and adapting existing assets so they can meet new demands. And we help coordinate structural interfaces with architectural requirements.

Environmental & Water Management

We help you understand and meet your regulatory responsibilities around environmental and water management. Whether that means preparing or informing environmental management plans, advising on soil and groundwater issues, or developing water management and stormwater strategies. We can also help you explore on-site renewable energy and sustainability options.

How Our Brisbane Team Works With You

Our Brisbane team can support you at any stage of a project, from first ideas through to operation of the finished asset. We work across transport and infrastructure, buildings and land development, industrial and heavy industry (including mining and minerals processing), power and renewable energy, and water and environmental projects.

Getting projects moving in Queensland

At the outset, we help you decide whether a project makes sense in local conditions. This can include feasibility studies, options assessments and early advice on soil testing, foundation concepts, environmental management plans and water management strategies. This is especially essential where floodplains, soft ground or coastal environments are involved.

Joining the dots in design and digital delivery

Then we develop coordinated designs for your site, whether the project is a building, industrial plant, substation, solar farm or other complex asset. Using software-based analysis and Building Information Modelling, we bring together structures, foundations, building hydraulics, HVAC, fire protection systems and power infrastructure.

Keeping construction on track across multiple partners

During delivery, we help manage design interfaces, respond to construction queries, review testing services and support compliance inspections, keeping design intent aligned with what’s built on site. On complex civil, industrial, mining and mineral processing projects, we also assist with construction staging and risk management.

Planning for long-term asset performance

After commissioning, we help asset owners keep their structures, pavements, foundations and building services performing as intended. Our teams support condition assessments, compliance reviews and planning for upgrades, strengthening or life-extension works across infrastructure, residential, commercial and industrial assets. Increasingly, we use digital models and design tools to provide smarter insights into asset performance, so you can prioritise maintenance, manage risk and plan improvements that support long-term decarbonisation and reliability goals.
