Our Point of Difference
Our key point of difference is our people. FSG seek to employ specialists within their chosen area of geotechnical practice in order to provide our clients with the highest level of technical expertise. The Directors and senior personnel of FSG have over 100 years of combined industry experience spanning contracting, design, consulting, research and pile testing. Our construction experience combined with our internationally recognised technical expertise, makes us uniquely positioned to service our clients with the highest standard of technical and practical advice.
FSG is also the largest pile testing company in Australia which provides us with an extensive in-house database of pile load test data across Australia on which we base our pile designs. This makes FSG unique in the geotechnical consulting sphere and allows us to provide not only a high level of technical advice, but also ensure that our designs are practical and buildable.
