SERVICES Structural Engineering Residential buildings and extensions Failed Foundations & Underpinning Building & Pest Inspections Industrial Structures Architectural drafting Insurance claims Project management Civil Engineering WAM Engineers will manage the rectification of Show Cause notices issued by Council where property owners have commenced earthworks without ground level change permits. We provide method statements and earthwork designs to rectify damaged land and return it to safe and useable land by removing hazardous actions. We advise on the best course of action and how to consider earthworks and retaining wall construction avoiding environmental damage and fines issued by the council. Climate change highlights the use of civil engineering expertise and we advise and assist clients to design solutions to changing weather patterns with the increase of cyclones and the consequential storm events and wind loads transferred to structures. Prevention is better than cure and we believe that to resolve perceived protection from fire, wind, and storm is more important than ever. Insurance may only provide part of the solution and should be used as a last resort. Overseas projects WAM Engineers have provided deep foundation geotechnical engineering for over five years throughout the entire country of Papua New Guinea. Geotechnical Engineering WAM Engineers offers excellent and comprehensive geotechnical services for residential, infrastructural and commercial projects. Specifically, we offer services including: Soil Logs Soil Testing Site classification Site evaluation Plant and equipment Acid Sulphate soils Soil testing Soil testing is essential to investigate subsurface conditions prior to construction. Allowable bearing capacity is determined in order to prevent settlement and ensure footings are correctively designed in accordance with the Building Code of Australia. Other features such as topography, vegetation and moisture conditions are also assessed to avoid building damages. Site Stability We provide site stability analysis where land-slip has the potential of movement. Slope failure is generally caused by gravitational and seepage forces. Local councils often require slope stability analyses prior to issuing a permit for development. Hydraulic Engineering WAM Engineers have significant experience in managing storm events, in particular, avoiding flood conditions. We have raised houses from ground level to height of up to three meters locating the floor levels above the highest flood level recorded. The one thing we know is that weather patterns are changing and the incidence of storm and flood may be on the increase. We provide hydraulic design services including On-site domestic wastewater management Rainwater harvesting Plumbing and drainage Portable water reticulation Water efficient designs Storm event management Flood management House removal and raising Contact us today for more information.
