Geotechnical advice from investigation and design, through to construction and asset management.
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.

What we do
Our geotechnical and geology 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.
Mining services
Ground engineering advice supporting mine development, operations, infrastructure, rehabilitation and closure planning.
Proof engineering
Independent proof engineering, design verification and technical assurance services that support project compliance processes, help manage project risk and inform stakeholder decisions.
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.
Temporary works
Temporary works engineering, including excavation support, shoring systems, working platforms and temporary batters, to support construction planning and risk management.
Engineering advice from the ground up
Informed outcomes through collaboration
Geotechnical tools and standards
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
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 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.
