Case Studies

Building on Hollow Ground

You may not be able to choose where you build. Sink-holes, hollows and pseudo-karsts can exist prior to construction or form years after your building is complete.  Rock Solid has drawn on its geotechnical and geophysical knowledge to identify the risk to construction from these features in Australia and abroad.

Verify your Foundation

The Rock Solid Team was an integral part of the excavation and
construction of a major Australian commercial complex.

Our task was to confirm that what was drilled and excavated into
would stand the test of time.  Foundation inspection and con-
firmation of a complex and intricate footing design ensured
that the owner has superior confidence in long-term building
performance.

Neighbour Issues?

An inner-city project found Rock Solid assisting its client to resolve
geotechnical and structural concerns raised by a neighbour that
had the site standing still for more than six months.  The
problems were obvious, but the solution was not straightforward. 

Combining it's experience with technical knowledge and skills, Rock
Solid saw the project through to re-commencement.  The technically
complex solution was simple and satisfactory to client and neighbours alike.
