Services
Concrete ground slabs
We design concrete ground slabs for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, adhering to AS2870 standards. Our solutions account for varying soil conditions, including reactive clays, to minimise structural damage risk. Clients benefit from durable, cost-efficient foundations tailored to site-specific geotechnical reports.
Retaining walls
Our retaining wall designs comply with council requirements for structures over 1m high. We utilise materials like galvanised steel, concrete sleepers, and reinforced blocks to create stable, compliant solutions for sloping sites, ensuring safety and regulatory approval.
Stormwater design
We engineer stormwater solutions for small-scale developments, meeting Australian Standards and local council regulations. Our designs ensure efficient rainfall runoff disposal, preventing water damage and compliance issues across varying municipal jurisdictions.
Structural steel framing
From single beams to large portal frames, we design structural steel solutions to AS4100 standards. Our expertise ensures robust, code-compliant frameworks for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, optimising strength and durability.
Structural certification
We assess structural systems for compliance with Australian Standards and local regulations, providing certification for building elements. This service ensures client projects meet safety and legal requirements, facilitating approvals and risk mitigation.

Report
We engaged PK Civil & Structural Engineering in 2018 to advise and assist with the construction of footings and associated concrete slabs for a series of 1400mm besser block (core filled and rebar) retaining walls around our lap pool. The 1:6 slope and limited access around the existing dwelling presented challenges for the footings which were easily addressed and at the time of posting this review (2years post construction) the walls have stood rock solid and have NO cracks or signs of stress or fatigue. Our plans and structural documentation to Council passed first time without amendment.
