Geotechnical Design · For Structural & Civil Teams
Geotechnical Design Parameters. The Numbers Under The Design.
Your structure is only as good as the parameters beneath it. SFGEO supplies the site-specific inputs structural and civil engineers design from, investigated, derived and signed by the engineer who read the ground.
For structural and civil engineers · Fixed fee in writing within one business day · Reports typically five to seven business days from fieldwork
Derived From The Ground
01 · The Approach
Derived From The Ground, Not The Textbook.
Every parameter traces to fieldwork on your site: boreholes, penetrometers, laboratory results, not presumptive values copied between reports. We do not carry the structural design; we make sure the numbers under it are real, and we stand behind them. Once the excavation opens, construction phase support verifies them at bearing level.
02 · What We Deliver
Parameters We Deliver.
Bearing Capacities
Allowable bearing for shallow footings and piers, by stratum and depth.
Pile Design Values
End bearing and shaft adhesion for bored piers and piles, with socket and construction guidance.
Retaining Walls (AS 4678)
Unit weights, strength values and earth pressure coefficients per stratum.
Pavement & Subgrade
CBR values and subgrade advice for driveways, car parks and civil pavements.
Working Platforms
Platform bearing verification for cranes, rigs and heavy plant.
Excavation & Groundwater
Batter guidance, excavatability and groundwater observations for basements and cuts.
03 · Working With Design Teams
Built To Slot Into Your Workflow.
Parameters, Not Prose
Design values delivered as memos and tables your software takes directly, with the derivation available when reviewers ask.
Alternatives Reviewed
When the contractor proposes a different footing system mid-build, we review it against the ground data fast, so the program holds.
On Call Through Construction
The engineer who derived the numbers stays reachable when the excavation opens and the ground asks its own questions.
Common Questions
SFGEO supplies the site-specific inputs structural and civil engineers design from. They cover bearing pressures, pile values, AS 4678 retaining parameters and pavement CBR values. The engineer who read the ground derives and signs each value. Every scope is quoted per site, a fixed fee in writing within one business day. With laboratory testing, reports are typically five to seven business days from fieldwork, confirmed in the written quote.
