Expert Geotechnical Support for Subdivisions

Looking to subdivide your land? Councils require geotechnical input to ensure safe building platforms and access for each lot. Whether it’s a simple two-lot split or a large scale greenfield development, KGA provides tailored geotechnical solutions to meet your needs.

We identify potential hazards, such as landslides or swampy ground, through site inspections and aerial photo analysis. Our team works with planners, surveyors, and engineers to design practical and compliant subdivisions.

Special Considerations for Earthquake-Prone Areas

In earthquake prone regions, liquefaction assessments are critical. If your land has no assigned Technical Category, we provide ground testing and analysis to determine soil stability and recommend safe foundation solutions.

Geotechnical Investigations Tailored to Your Project

Site Inspection

A detailed walkover to assess soil conditions and identify potential hazards.

Hazard Mapping

Evaluation of geological risks like landslides or fault lines using aerial imagery and testing.

Subsurface Testing

Conducted with hand augers or machinery to assess soil stability and strength.

Stability Analysis

Ensures safe building platforms, especially for sloping sites or challenging terrain.

Customised Reporting

Resource Consent-ready documentation with geotechnical recommendations for development.
