About Us

ABOUT US

Rock Solid Earth are Geotechnical Consultants to the Construction Industry.

If you want it done right - first time and every time - you’ve come to the right place.

Over 37 years of successful project delivery, no claims and no accidents - we have built a database with over 12,000 reports. The result today is over 8,000 google map points to show the geotechnical site classifications from physical site investigations.

We adhere strictly to Australian Standards for Geotechnical work no matter what we do. In 2011 there was a major change that for the first time meant you didn’t need to physically visit a site to give a basic geotechnical classification.

If we can’t solve your geotechnical problem - we know who to refer you to.

Rock Solid Earth is part of a complex structure of professional experts under the umbrella of the Rock Solid group of companies. Rock Solid Group and Rock Solid Research are involved in the condition assessment of critical pipes globally. The Broadband Electro-Magnetic technology BEM™, was listed in the US Standards for Condition Assessment of Water Mains last year.

It is a marriage of earth sciences and geophysics. What ever the earth around your pipe, or the lack of it, the condition of the pipe and earth tell an amazingly accurate story of how long the infrastructure will last. We are heavily into what is called non-destructive testing.

Rock Solid Earth takes great pride in offering exceptional client support and strives for excellence in all projects, both big and small.
