OUR SERVICES
At Gibb Ritchie Geotechnical Engineers, we provide a full range of geotechnical services to support projects of all sizes and complexities. Our focus is on practical, high-quality solutions that are tailored to the specific requirements of each site and client.
01.
Hand augers, boreholes, CPTs and test pits to understand what is under your site, so design and consent decisions rest on real ground data.
02.
Clear, council-ready reports for building consent, resource consent and property purchases, written to be read and accepted.
03.
Geotechnical advice from feasibility and resource consent through earthworks to 224c sign-off, so your subdivision keeps moving.
04.
Shallow and piled foundations designed for expansive, soft and sloping ground, not generic details copied from a template.
05.
Retaining wall design and slope stability assessment, from timber pole walls to slip remediation.
06.
Earthworks specifications, fill testing and certification, from building platforms to full subdivisions.
07.
Seismic site class, liquefaction and lateral spread assessments that give designers and councils the numbers they need.
08.
Site inspections, testing and PS4 sign-off, so what gets built matches what was designed.
09.
Independent peer review and expert evidence for disputes, councils and consultants, clear enough to stand up to scrutiny.

From ground investigations to detailed design, we provide clear, practical advice that keeps your project on solid ground and moving forward.
