And Forensic Engineers Staff have decades of that experience, having previously worked in;
- soil test drilling
- soil lab testing
- oil descriptions
- site classifications
- footing and slab designs; strip, pad and edge beam footings, conventional and waffle pod slabs
- deep footing piering; conventional concrete piers, push-piles, small diameter driven timber piles and steel screw piles
- Foundation Underpinning; conventional concrete, polyurethane resin, timber piles and steel screw piers.

It is essential that any engineers offering subsidence reports actually have local Queensland experience in soil testing and geotechnical behavior.
Very Important: When deciding on an engineer for a subsidence & wall crack inspection, make sure the engineers have actually done field and lab soil testing themselves.
With over 5000 cases completed in the last 12 years, and decades of actual Soil Testing, Site Classification and Slab Design hands-on experience, Forensic Engineers are the best choice for Structural Engineer Reports for subsidence and house foundation problems.
