FSG provides broad ranging geotechnical engineering services that support the development and delivery of energy, renewable and utility infrastructure projects across Australia.
We work with developers, asset owners, EPC contractors and utility providers on a broad range of projects including wind farms, solar farms, battery energy storage systems (BESS), transmission lines, substations, water infrastructure and other critical utility assets. Our involvement typically begins during the planning and feasibility stages, where we help characterise the site, identify geotechnical risks, optimise site investigations and establish design parameters that support informed investment and development decisions.
Our teams deliver carefully targeted site investigations, detailed ground characterisation and practical engineering solutions tailored to the specific challenges of each project. This includes foundation design for wind turbines, substations and ancillary structures, earthworks assessments, access tracks, crane hardstands, groundwater investigations and construction support services. By combining technical expertise with a strong understanding of construction and project delivery and operation, we develop solutions that are efficient, buildable and aligned with whole-of-life project objectives.
Importantly, we understand the commercial and delivery frameworks that underpin modern energy projects. Our services are structured to integrate seamlessly with EPC procurement models, supporting programme certainty, cost optimisation and risk management throughout the project lifecycle. From early-stage due diligence through to construction verification and operational support, FSG helps clients deliver reliable, resilient infrastructure that supports Australia’s evolving energy future.
Foundation Design for Renewable Energy Infrastructure.
The foundation requirements of renewable energy projects vary significantly depending on the asset type, loading conditions and ground profile. Wind turbines, solar tracker systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), substations and transmission infrastructure each present unique geotechnical and structural challenges that require tailored engineering solutions. FSG has extensive experience supporting a wide range of renewable energy developments, providing geotechnical investigations, ground characterisation and foundation engineering required to ensure infrastructure performs safely, efficiently and reliably throughout its design life.
Our involvement typically begins during the earliest stages of project development, where we plan and manage site investigations to establish design parameters, identify geotechnical risks and optimise foundation solutions. We work closely with developers, designers and EPC contractors to develop foundation designs that balance technical performance, constructability, material availability, cost and programme requirements. Whether designing turbine foundations on complex weathered rock ridgelines, solar farm foundations on expansive clay soils or support structures for battery and transmission assets, our focus is on delivering practical, buildable solutions that minimise risk and support efficient project delivery.
Beyond design, FSG provides construction-phase support, verification and performance assessment services to ensure foundation systems perform as intended and meet project specifications. By combining detailed site knowledge, advanced geotechnical analysis and practical construction experience, we help clients maximise value, reduce uncertainty and achieve successful outcomes across all stages of renewable energy project delivery.
