Build Over or Near Sewer
Engineering assessments and footing design for building over or near sewer and stormwater infrastructure in Brisbane and QLD.
Soil–Structure Interaction
Soil–pipe interaction design for sewer, gas and water pipes
Buried pipes and the ground move together. GeoStructCiv designs for soil–pipe and soil–structure interaction — loads from soil, traffic and nearby footings, settlement and ground movement — so new structures can be built over or beside sewer, gas and water pipes safely.
What we do
Geotechnical and structural interaction design
Building over or near a sewer, gas main or stormwater pipe in Brisbane, Ipswich or anywhere in Queensland needs the ground, the pipe and the new structure checked together.
Sewer & Gas Pipe Interaction
Pipe stress, strain, deflection and joint rotation checks for sewer, gas and water mains under soil and surcharge loads.
Geotechnical Interaction Design
Settlement, heave, reactive clay and excavation-induced movement effects on buried pipes.
Structural Interaction Design
Piled footings, bridging beams and pipe protection slabs designed around existing pipes.
Numerical Modelling (Plaxis)
Finite element soil–pipe–structure models to predict movement and loads before construction.
