Our Services

At P.K Civil & Structural Engineering, we pride ourselves on offering a wide range of services tailored to our clients' needs. Our areas of expertise include the following:

Concrete Ground Slabs

Concrete ground slabs are a quick, cost-efficient solution for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. For residential applications, slabs can be designed as a raft slab, waffle pod, or infill slabs to AS2870. It is vital to design the slab to suit the specific foundation material, as conditions vary greatly across different geographical locations from sandy soils to highly reactive clays. We recommend engaging a qualified geotechnical engineer to establish ground conditions prior to commencing design. The slab can then be designed to AS2870 catering for possible ground movement associated with reactive clays, reducing the probability of damage to the structure.

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are usually employed to hold-back (retain) earth on sloping sites. They can be constructed in many different forms from a wide variety of materials. Common construction methods include galvanised steel posts and concrete sleepers, interlocking block gravity walls, reinforced concrete block cantilever walls (often called 'besser block' walls), and terraced walls. Most Councils require that any retaining wall over 1m high (and in some cases less) be designed by a suitably qualified engineer. We can engineer your retaining wall to suit your needs and satisfy council requirements.

Stormwater Design

Effective stormwater solutions are vital for the safe disposal of rainfall runoff. We can design stormwater solutions for small scale developments to satisfy Australian standards and local council requirements, which can vary across local government areas.

Structural Steel Framing

From a single steel beam used as a lintel over a garage door to a large scale portal framed warehouse, we can design a structural steel solution for your project to Australian standard AS4100.

Timber Frames

Timber is traditionally used as framing in residential buildings but increasingly manufactured timbers are being used in both residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Inspections and Reports

We carry out structural inspections for a variety of purposes ranging from construction inspections for a principle certifying authority to comprehensive reports on the structural adequacy of a building element or entire structure.

Structural Certification

We can inspect and assess the structural adequacy of structural systems and building elements for compliance with Australian Standards and local government requirements.
