Environmental and engineering service provider RSK has added new geotechnical sector specialists to its Australian division with the acquisition of Civil Geotechnical Consultants (CGC).
CGC has offices in Brisbane, Cairns, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, the Sunshine Coast and Townsville. The engineering team of 35 offers a range of services, including site investigations, design and analysis, construction services, advisory services, aerial mapping and asset management.
Clients include local and state governments (Queensland and New South Wales) and businesses such as Fulton Hogan, McIlwain, JF Hull, John Holland, Laing O’Rourke, Georgiou, ACCIONA, SEE Group and CMC.
Recent projects have seen CGC delivering geotechnical consulting services to its clients in the transport infrastructure sector in both road and rail. These services have included investigation, design, construction phase support and tender design services on large nation-building projects, including the Coomera Connector and Direct Sunshine Coast Rail.
RSK Group Board Member and Divisional Director for RSK Australia Mark Haydock said, “CGC is an excellent addition to the RSK businesses currently bringing a range of multidisciplinary skills to our strong Australian offering.
“RSK is known for being a global leader in the delivery of environmental and engineering solutions, and CGC joining the group greatly enhances this commitment, providing our clients with end-to-end solutions in Australia.
“We have been hugely impressed with CGC’s depth of skills and project delivery, including its TMR GE3 qualification, the highest level of geotechnical accreditation for major transport projects in Queensland, paving the way for some impressive project wins and a great future for this team and RSK, as we continue to make our contribution to Australia’s ongoing development.”
CGC directors Barry Land, David Carson and Ian Thompson will continue to lead the business. They said they were drawn to RSK because the group’s acquisition model allows CGC to retain its identity while supporting growth ambitions.
“Joining the group opens up new markets, resources and geographies to our business with the opportunity to support large-scale multidisciplinary projects.”
