Our in-house engineers have honours or postgraduate degrees in civil engineering, specialising in geotechnics and foundation design

Our in-house engineers have honours or postgraduate degrees in civil engineering, specialising in geotechnics and foundation design. Our engineers are actively involved in research relating to Belpile products, which has been ongoing for the past 25 years. Current research underway is focusing on refining design parameters for CFA piles in Perth soils based on an extensive database of static load tests.

Belpile has compiled an extensive library of geotechnical reports, installation records and full scale load test results which is integrated with modern mapping software to provide a valuable tool for front end engineering. This often allows Belpile to implement more feasible, cost effective design solutions at the planning stage of projects.

Our engineering team have access to an array of modern engineering software to undertake foundation and retaining wall designs, including Oasys Frew, Alp, Slope, Plaxis, Piglet and Ratz. We have vast experience in soil/structure modelling for most foundation and retention situations. Most importantly, we regularly calibrate our design solutions with full scale testing and monitoring.

Belpile also frequently implement third party design reviews undertaken by industry experts at the University of Western Australia.
