FSG provides broad ranging geotechnical engineering services for mining and resource sector infrastructure, supporting projects from pre-feasibility through to detailed design, construction and operations.
We work across mine sites, processing facilities, rail and port infrastructure, renewable energy facilities, water management systems and associated civil infrastructure, delivering practical solutions that are tailored to the unique challenges of remote locations and demanding operating environments.
Our expertise includes geotechnical investigation, materials and earthworks assessments, haul roads and heavy-duty pavements, foundations for plant and stockpiles, working platforms and hardstands, design of deep excavations and retention systems, groundwater management, slope stability assessment and ground improvement design.
Our team supports project delivery through construction advice, verification and risk-based review, applying informed engineering analysis and judgement to optimise materials and construction methods, providing efficient, buildable solutions that manage risk without compromising efficiency and performance.
Pavement Services in Mining.
FSG provides specialist pavement engineering services for mine haul roads, access roads, hardstands, laydown areas and operational infrastructure across the resources sector. Our team undertakes pavement investigation, assessment, design and construction verification for both greenfield and brownfield developments, considering the unique loading demands of heavy mining equipment and site-specific ground conditions.
By combining detailed site characterisation, materials assessment and practical construction experience, we develop pavement solutions that balance performance, constructability and cost. Our focus extends beyond initial design to whole-of-life asset performance, helping clients optimise pavement thickness, material selection, maintenance requirements and long-term operational efficiency. Through construction monitoring, quality assurance and performance verification, we provide confidence that pavement assets will perform safely and reliably throughout their design life.
Ports & Marine Projects
FSG has extensive experience in providing geotechnical and foundation engineering services for ports, marine and resource infrastructure projects throughout Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Our experience includes wharves, jetties, marine offloading facilities, ship loaders, berths, bulk export terminals and associated infrastructure supporting the mining, resources, energy and industrial sectors.
A key area of expertise is the design, constructability, testing and verification of steel piled foundations. We provide pile design, pile driveability analysis, hammer selection studies, pile length optimisation and constructability advice to support efficient procurement and installation. Our team also delivers sheet pile wall design, temporary and permanent retention solutions, and construction-stage reviews that help manage geotechnical risks in challenging marine environments.
FSG supports projects from concept through to construction verification, providing dynamic and static pile testing, PDA and CAPWAP analysis, pile integrity testing, capacity verification and foundation sign-off services. Drawing on extensive experience across major export and marine infrastructure projects, we deliver practical, construction-focused solutions that improve buildability, reduce risk and provide confidence in foundation performance.
