Engineering Geology Specialists
Understanding the ground rules and reducing geological risk is a fundamental strategy for any development. It requires a combination of engineering and science disciplines: a blend Tonkin & Taylor has perfected.
Our team of experienced engineering geologists specialist in the interpretation and assessment of geological processes, geological risk and interpretation of ground conditions, making them the largest New Zealand owned consultancy offering specialist engineering geological services.
Expertise
Our expertise has been gained on projects throughout New Zealand, Australia, South East Asia and the Pacific, working on:
- site development projects (residential, commercial and industrial)
- landslide assessments and remedial design
- major infrastructure developments including hydro electric power schemes, road and rail projects, port and harbour developments, water supply and solid waste (landfill) developments
- tunnelling projects
- quarries and opencast mining.
Working closely with our clients as well as geotechnical, water resources, environmental and civil engineers, our engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers provide essential inputs into the development of cost effective engineering solutions that meet client needs, while reducing exposure to geological risks.
