Principal Geotechnical Engineer
Colin is a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) with more than 20 years of hands-on experience in geotechnical design, interpretive assessment, verification, and construction. He has provided geotechnical advice for projects across a range of industry sectors including state and local government, transportation, mining and resources, land development, and waste management.
Colin’s experience has been gained on projects across Australia, Asia, Europe and United Kingdom. He is sought-after to provide solutions for complex geotechnical problems and projects requiring geotechnical analysis and design. He is a strong team-player with a reputation for effective project leadership, delivering practical and commercially sound advice.
Colin’s project involvement on recent projects includes day-to-day project management, on-site inspections and investigation supervision, interpretive assessments and geotechnical design, independent design reviews and advice, detailed analysis and design using hand-calculations, software and in-house design spreadsheets. Colin provides geotechnical input for a broad range of projects and in most industry sectors.
JAMES CAMPBELL
Associate Engineering Geologist
James has a broad range of over 10 years’ experience in Engineering Geology, having worked in Australia, New Zealand and PNG.
James has experience in geotechnical investigations in a consultancy environment including experience in geotechnical logging, site supervision, Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) probing and drill rig supervision, test pitting, plate load testing, construction support, earthworks verification and monitoring, providing onsite advice, reporting and analysis, experience in construction monitoring, reviewing the design of post-tensioned ground anchors in building foundations, borrow material investigations for railways, experience in site investigations and recommendations for residential and commercial developments as well as experience in coal exploration and underground coal mining.
James also has experience in near shore works including, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), coastal monitoring at beaches adjacent to Materials Offloading Facilities (MOF), geotechnical desktop study for the sea water intake caissons, jack up barge pile socket assessment for tug pen piles and protection piles adjacent to the MOF. James has jetty extension work experience involving nearshore anchored barge borehole drilling and Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) as well as dredging operation experience involving over water logging of soils and sample selection of material excavated from the dredging channel on the Wheatstone LNG project.
IAN ROGERS
Senior Engineering Geologist
Ian has ten years’ experience in Engineering Geology for resource, civil, infrastructure and land development projects across New Zealand and Australia.
Ian’s experience covers the planning, execution and management of geotechnical investigations. His expertise includes site supervision, geotechnical logging, Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) probing supervision, test pitting, construction support, onsite advice, field mapping and reporting. Ian has worked extensively with diamond core drilling, including work with inclined borehole supervision for assessment of joined rock masses, pit optimisation and quarry yield estimation.
Ian also has experience in soil and rock logging for mining projects, tunnelling projects, near shore works (over water), construction monitoring and field logging for mineral sands and iron ore projects. Ian has completed fieldwork in challenging ground conditions, including work over soft tailings, and in areas underlain by soft man-made deposits. Ian always considers safety as the first priority when undertaking fieldwork and leads by example.
