Service Area and Approach
At Engineering Sydney, we pride ourselves on providing structural and civil engineering excellence, personalised customer service and value to our customers through innovative engineering designs.
From our location in Oatley, in Sydney’s south, we offer structural and civil engineering consultancy services all around Sydney. Examples of our work and testimonials from our customers are available here.
Once you contact us, we’ll organise to meet with you to discuss your needs.
What comes next is the favourite part of our job – developing a unique design that meets the needs of your project, with major emphasis placed on practical solutions.
What Is Civil Engineering?
Civil engineers are responsible for society’s basic needs and facilities (otherwise known as infrastructure). They strengthen and improve systems that allow humans and nature to coexist with little impact. Modern society could not function without civil engineers. We need them to design and build higher-capacity transportation systems, construct larger commercial and industrial complexes, and for water supply and pollution control. We need efficient, cost-effective and innovative repair or replacement of civil infrastructures such as roads, bridges and buildings.
Civil engineers must also find ways to deliver the required infrastructure when there’s minimal money to pay for it. Essentially, civil engineers must create solutions to complex problems and implement them. Several unique specialty areas within civil engineering include environmental, structural, municipal, transport and geotechnical. There are two types of civil engineering roles within the various specialty areas: consultants who focus on design work and typically spend more time in the office or communicating with clients, and contractors who are more involved with monitoring the physical construction and work primarily on-site. Both challenging environments and all civil engineers must be innovative and logical. Other essential attributes of civil engineers include creativity, versatility, problem-solving skills, and the ability to consider the bigger picture and collaborate with several other professionals.
What Is The Difference Between Civil And Structural Engineering?
Every university graduates as a civil engineer, having completed many courses, including structural engineering. Structural engineering is a discipline of civil engineering.
So basically, all structural engineers are civil engineers, but not all civil engineers are structural engineers! We call ourselves civil or structural engineers in the workforce, depending on our area of expertise.
We like to explain it as civil engineers being responsible for the design of infrastructure projects such as:
- Roads
- Railways
- Water and wastewater systems
- Dams
- Bridges etc.
Whereas the structural engineer is explicitly involved in the design of structures associated with these projects:
- The bridge structure in a road system
- The dam wall
- Draw-off tower in a reservoir
- The arrangements related to a water treatment plant
- The signs over a freeway etc.
Structural engineers are focused on the materials of construction and their ability to withstand design actions. Say a bridge collapsed due to poor design; it’s now the structural engineer’s responsibility to resolve it. If the river floods and swallows the bridge due to poor estimations of flood levels, or if the traffic is always backed up due to poorly planned lanes, it’s a civil engineer’s responsibility – this is the difference.
What Is Shoring?
Why Is Shoring An Important Part Of Civil Engineering?
Shoring is a supporting structure designed by civil engineers and used during the construction or repair of buildings to prevent them from collapsing. Shoring is usually temporary, and there are many different methods of shoring that can be used, depending on the situation. Shoring is commonly used during the early stages of construction projects, also known as the excavation process, to reinforce below-ground work such as trenches.
Shoring provides a reliable and supporting solid structure in various civil engineering projects, including installing a building foundation or giving stability to an unsafe wall. Typical shoring applications include home and building construction, foundation installation and repairs.
The main advantage of using shoring technologies when performing construction or excavation work is safety – because the vital purpose of shoring is to provide stability and prevent collapses, helping to ensure a safe work site.
Shoring Construction is essential for safety and efficiency in excavation work. It stabilizes the site, prevents collapses, and protects workers. By ensuring secure excavations, it also reduces delays and costly rework.
What Is Stormwater Design And Planning?
Why Choose Engineering Sydney For Your Stormwater Design And Planning?
Civil engineers specializing in Stormwater Drainage Design and Flood Study Methodology work at the highest level of design and planning, solving large, time-sensitive, and complex problems. Architects and other professionals rely on civil engineers to create the most efficient and cost-effective stormwater drainage systems, including both surface and sub-surface drainage solutions.
These engineers ensure that stormwater drainage management plans meet all relevant criteria and requirements, such as development applications and construction certificates. They also provide hydraulic solutions tailored to the specific ground conditions of residential and commercial developments.
By utilizing advanced flood study methodologies, they ensure that stormwater systems are designed to effectively manage runoff, mitigate flood risks, and promote sustainability in development projects.
Stormwater drainage plans cover:
- Roofwater systems
- Stormwater drainage design
- Onsite detention systems
- Rainwater re-use systems
- Grey water re-use systems
- Flood and overland flow analysis
- Water sensitive urban design
- Stormwater hydraulic solutions
- Pipeline extensions
Why Choose Engineering Sydney?
Engineering Sydney is a leading Civil Engineering Consultancy offering a full suite of advanced engineering services across Sydney. We specialize in delivering tailored solutions for a variety of projects, focusing on both innovation and cost-effectiveness to meet the unique needs of our clients.
Dilapidation Report Procedure
As part of our comprehensive consultancy services, we provide expert Dilapidation Report Procedures, essential for assessing and documenting the current condition of structures before and after construction activities. These reports help identify any pre-existing damage and prevent future disputes, ensuring your project runs smoothly and in compliance with regulatory standards.
Bearing Capacity Analysis
Our Bearing Capacity Analysis services are designed to assess the strength and stability of soil and foundations, providing critical data for safe and effective construction. By evaluating the soil’s load-bearing capacity, we ensure that your project is built on a solid foundation, preventing costly delays or structural issues down the line.
We also specialize in retaining wall design solutions, offering innovative and sustainable options that never over-price. Our team’s expertise focuses on creating designs that prioritize both efficiency and budget savings, all while ensuring the highest quality standards.
