Independent review and certification

As projects grow in complexity, independent design review and certification can support project success by helping assess whether a design is suitable for construction and aligned with project performance requirements.

Many asset owners, financiers and government agencies now require or expect independent design certification as part of their project governance, with experienced proof engineers engaged earlier to help manage risk before it reaches the project site.

pitt&sherry delivers integrated proof engineering across structural, geotechnical, civil and drainage disciplines, working with contractors, road and rail authorities, councils and consultants across Australia.

What we do

Our proof engineering services

We provide integrated, multi-disciplinary proof engineering that supports safe and informed project delivery.

Civil and drainage review

Verification of civil designs and stormwater drainage systems.

Construction methodology reviews

Assessment of construction staging to confirm methods are consistent with permanent works design and structural integrity.

Geotechnical proof engineering

Verification of foundations, piles, earth-retaining systems, embankments, and geotechnical design on major projects.

Hydraulic and hydrology design review

Review of hydraulic and hydrology models and outputs for alignment with design intent, standards and site conditions.

Structural proof engineering

Independent review and certification of bridges, retaining structures and permanent or temporary structural works.

Temporary works certification

Review and certification of formwork, falsework, lifting systems, crane platforms and critical temporary structures.

Our approach

Early engagement, improved project visibility

We engage early — often during design development — to help ensure the proposed design aligns with project specifications and client requirements, with a focus on critical and high-risk areas. By seeking early agreement on issues that arise during review, our collaborative approach helps to reduce the risk of late-stage design issues and potential delivery delays.

Our industry credentials

The right credentials to deliver your project

Our proof engineers hold accreditations and pre-qualifications required to certify designs on major Australian projects.

Department of Transport and ARTC prequalifications

We hold VicRoads prequals for proof engineering of structures and ARTC prequals for design and verification. We’ve delivered structural certification of bridges, retaining systems, overhead structures and major transport corridors across Victoria.

Department of Transport prequalification – geotechnical

We hold VicRoads prequals for geotechnical proof engineering, allowing us to certify geotechnical designs on road and transport projects in Victoria. This covers foundations, pile systems, earth-retaining structures, embankments, and ground improvement works.

National prequalification coverage

Beyond Victoria, our team holds the necessary pre-qualifications to undertake proof engineering, including geotechnical, across most Australian states. We’ve delivered proof engineering on significant projects in New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and the ACT.
