Our Professional Services
From residential soil tests to complex bridge investigations, we deliver precision across every project type.
Also known as geotechnical boring, this process involves evaluating soil, rock, groundwater, and overall site conditions within a given depth and location.
A comprehensive process involving systematic examination and evaluation of subsurface conditions, providing critical information for engineering and construction projects.
A systematic process that categorizes subsurface conditions, providing a standardized framework for describing geological and geotechnical site features.
Evaluating engineering properties of residential soil for bearing capacity, settlement analysis, soil classification, shear strength, and groundwater conditions.
Thorough examination of materials underlying roadways, highways, and paved surfaces to ensure durable and resilient transportation infrastructure design.
A geophysical technique to characterize subsurface soil properties — critical for corrosion rate assessment, buried structure performance, and slope stability analysis.
A widely used in-situ method to determine the relative density of granular soils and consistency of fine-grained soils, aiding foundation design decisions.
In-situ assessment of soil strength and unbound pavement materials using a portable instrument that measures penetration resistance under dynamic blows.
Assessing the rate at which water penetrates soil at a site. Provides crucial information for understanding drainage and designing effective stormwater management systems.

Geotechnical engineering is a subfield of civil engineering concerned with the behavior and qualities of soil, rock, and other geologic materials. It entails studying ground conditions in order to make recommendations for building, bridge, road, and foundation design and construction.
Geotechnical engineering is critical for civil construction project success and safety. Geotechnical engineers establish the site's stability, bearing capacity, and potential dangers by examining ground conditions. This information is critical for correct foundation design, slope stability analysis, and overall project structural integrity.
Our skilled engineers have extensive geotechnical engineering experience with backgrounds in geology, hydrogeology, soil testing, and geophysics. All team members are certified by Engineers Australia (MIEAust) and the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS), ensuring the highest professional, ethical, and technical standards.
Probe Geotechnical Services operates throughout Victoria, including both urban and rural settings. Our services extend to a majority of regional towns across Victoria. We are also expanding to Brisbane, Queensland, with plans for five regional branches across Australia by 2030.
We adhere to precise standards and norms throughout our investigations and testing processes. Our engineers collect precise data using cutting-edge technology and procedures, and our meticulous reporting ensures clients obtain comprehensive and dependable information for their projects.
Our independence, combined with a strong team of Engineers Australia members, guarantees the technical knowledge and competence to handle a wide range of projects. We are committed to client satisfaction, cutting-edge services, and outstanding value — providing tailored solutions from inception to completion with clear, open communication throughout.
