History

A Legacy of Excellence

In 1990, Keith Gillespie & Associates Limited (now KGA Geotechnical) was born from very humble and kiwi origins: a small office above a fish and chip shop in Browns Bay. We quickly became well-known in the industry for providing practical specialist geotechnical engineering consultancy services to the wider Auckland area.

In 2012, our Christchurch-based office was primarily formed to provide support to the Christchurch community as part of the post-earthquake rebuild. We have maintained a strong and capable presence in the Christchurch and South Island areas to support ongoing development and continue to build on our local client relationships.

A New Chapter

In 2012 KGA Geotechnical extended its reach to Christchurch, driven by a commitment to support the region’s post-earthquake recovery. The establishment of this office enabled KGA to play a pivotal role in the rebuild, offering expert geotechnical solutions tailored to local needs.

Today, the Christchurch office continues to serve as a hub for South Island projects, fostering strong relationships and community growth.

Excellence Through the Years

KGA’s journey from a modest office in Browns Bayto a leading geotechnical consultancy reflects a steadfast dedication to innovation and quality. Over three decades, we have consistently adapted to meet the evolving challenges of the industry.

From pioneering projects in Auckland to shaping resilient developments nationwide, KGA’s legacy is built on a foundation of trust, expertise, and client success.
