Very Important: When deciding on an engineer for a subsidence & wall crack inspection, make sure the engineers have actual experience in field and lab soil testing themselves. Very few engineers in S.E. Qld that write wall crack & subsidence reports have any hands-on experience with soil testing. A genuine, expert, subsidence engineer report should be done by those who have a real apprenticeship in soil testing / geotechnical engineering.

• areas with highly plastic clay soils

• compressible soils
• organic soils
• acid-sulphate soils.
• marine clays

It is essential that any engineers offering subsidence reports actually have local Queensland experience in soil testing and geotechnical behavior.

With over 5000 cases completed in the last 12 years. And before that, decades of actual Geotechnical / Soil Testing, Site Classification and Slab Design hands-on experience, Forensic Engineers are the best choice for RPEQ Structural Engineer Reports for subsidence and house foundation problems.
