Civil Engineering Services

Our civil engineers provide end-to-end engineering support, from feasibility and consent strategy through to detailed design, construction monitoring and certification. Our suite of integrated development services ensure the highest degree of quality, safety, efficiency and innovation on your projects.

| Civil Engineering

When building a new home or subdividing land, each site must be fully serviced with stormwater, sewer, water supply, vehicle access, roading and utility connections.
Our civil engineers use advanced design software to prepare accurate, cost-effective infrastructure plans that meet council engineering standards. We also prepare supporting technical reports required for council approval, ensuring developments are properly serviced and compliant from the outset.

| Civil Engineering

Earthworks must be carefully designed and managed to prevent erosion, sediment runoff and environmental impacts.
We prepare detailed earthworks plans including cut and fill volumes, erosion control measures and sediment management systems. These plans are designed for council approval and provide clear guidance for contractors during construction.

| Civil Engineering

We design roads and Right of Ways for residential and rural developments, including pavement design, stormwater drainage, intersections and turning areas.
All designs align with council standards while considering practical construction outcomes, long-term durability and environmental impact.
For projects involving subdivision: Subdivisions

| Civil Engineering

Effective stormwater management is essential for compliance and long-term site performance.
We design stormwater disposal systems for rural and residential developments, including:

  • Soakage design
  • Detention tank design
  • Retention tank systems
  • Surface water management solutions
  • Our civil engineers assess geotechnical data and site conditions to ensure designs are compliant, practical and suited to the local environment.
| Civil Engineering

For sites located within flood-prone or coastal areas, flood risk assessment is critical.
We prepare:

  • Flood risk reports
  • Catchment analysis
  • Hydraulic flood modelling
  • Coastal inundation assessments

Our civil engineers design mitigation strategies that protect infrastructure and ensure developments meet regulatory flood safety requirements.

| Civil Engineering

During construction, civil works must be inspected to confirm compliance with approved engineering plans.

Our team provides construction monitoring and inspection services, including certification and sign-offs supervised by experienced engineers and project managers. This helps reduce delays, avoid compliance issues and keep projects on track.

| Civil Engineering

We manage civil construction contracts for subdivision and land development projects, supporting developers from tender through to completion.

Services include:

  • Preparation of contract documentation
  • Tender assessment
  • Site supervision
  • Claim review and certification
  • Programme and cost oversight

Effective contract management helps control development costs and reduce construction risk.

| Civil Engineering

Civil engineering input is often required for building consents involving infrastructure elements such as detention tanks or civil structures.
We prepare compliant engineering documentation and assist with council approval processes to ensure construction can proceed without unnecessary delays.

This integrated capability supports:

  • Faster consent processing
  • Reduced coordination issues
  • Fewer redesigns
  • Clear responsibility across disciplines

After initially speaking to about six different surveyors in our area who couldn’t give us a confident answer we were suggested Tripp Andrews. From start to finish John, Avi and the team made the process incredibly easy, stress free and was completed in such a quick timeframe. We have been thoroughly impressed the whole way through and could not recommend them highly enough to anyone needing a surveyor. You will not regret using them.
