Grounded in practical experience

Grounded in practical experience

Ground conditions influence every stage of a project, from planning and design through to construction, operation and asset renewal.

pitt&sherry provides geotechnical engineering and geology services for transport, property, mining, energy, industrial, and water projects in Australia.

Our team combines experience in field investigations, ground characterisation, geotechnical design and advice, and construction-phase support to help you understand ground-related opportunities and constraints and make informed decisions to support project delivery.

Our Services

Construction support

Site inspections, verification testing, and construction support that help identify issues early, address unforeseen ground conditions, and support informed construction decisions.

Geotechnical site investigations

Foundation, earthworks, retaining structures, pavement and ground improvement designs tailored to ground conditions, project requirements and construction constraints.

Proof engineering

Independent design verification and third-party review for bridges, structures, geotechnical and temporary works.

Mining services

Ground engineering advice supporting mine development, operations, infrastructure, rehabilitation and closure planning.

Site investigations

Geotechnical investigations and geological assessments that define ground conditions, identify risks and provide data to support informed project planning and design.

Slope risk management

Slope stability assessments, landslide investigations and geohazard risk management strategies designed to inform decisions about asset resilience and long-term performance.

Specialist geotechnical services

From investigations and design to construction support and asset risk assessments, we provide practical geotechnical advice at key stages of the project lifecycle.

Our approach

Engineering advice from the ground up

Informed outcomes through collaboration

Informed outcomes through collaboration

Ground conditions don’t exist in isolation. Our geotechnical engineers work alongside structural, civil, environmental and asset management specialists to develop coordinated advice that considers constructability, operational performance and long-term resilience. This multidisciplinary approach is designed to support practical outcomes and help manage project risk.
Our industry credentials

Technology and compliance

Our services are delivered in accordance with Australian standards, industry guidelines and project-specific requirements. We apply quality management systems, recognised geotechnical methodologies and practical engineering judgement.

Accreditations

Accreditations

Our ISO-certified management systems (ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001), chartered and registered professionals (CPEng, RPEQ, NER), RPEV-certified engineers and accredited TfNSW slope risk practitioners support the delivery of independent technical advice.

Specialist engineering tools

Specialist engineering tools

Specialist software including OpenGround, Leapfrog, GeoStudio, PLAXIS, Rocscience, and QGIS, combined with field technologies and an in-house Pagani drill rig, supports data capture, analysis and informed decision-making.
