Advanced modelling. Practical engineering judgement. Ground solutions for Auckland's complex terrain.
EXPLORE CAPABILITIES ↓01 / EXPERTISE
COMPLEX GROUND.
CLEAR ENGINEERING.
From cliff-top developments and unstable slopes to deep excavations, groundwater effects and seismic hazards, Geopro connects ground investigation with practical engineering design.
Our specialist toolkit includes Rocscience software, RS2 finite element modelling and WALLAP, supported by engineering judgement and independent technical review.
02 / NUMERICAL ANALYSIS
SEE BEYOND
THE SURFACE.
Assess slope stability, stress, deformation and groundwater response with appropriate analytical and numerical methods.

05 / OUR APPROACH
FROM ANALYSIS
TO BUILDABLE DESIGN.
01 / UNDERSTAND
Review geology, investigation data and site constraints.
02 / MODEL
Evaluate critical loading and groundwater scenarios.
03 / DESIGN
Develop appropriate support, foundation and stabilisation solutions.
04 / REVIEW
Document assumptions, limitations and construction requirements.
