Our Process

A Clear Flow Path to Reliable Site Data

We follow a clear and proven workflow that ensures every project is delivered with accuracy, transparency, and full regulatory compliance. From initial consultation and site assessment to design, monitoring, and final sign-off, our structured approach helps clients achieve safe, efficient, and sustainable outcomes at every stage.

1

Brief + requirements confirmation

We review your project scope, site conditions, and regulatory needs to confirm requirements, identify risks, and define a clear path forward.

2

Scope site investigation

We define the drilling methodology, investigation scope, and testing requirements to ensure accurate data collection and efficient site execution.

3

Fieldwork + lab analysis

We carry out on-site investigations and laboratory testing to gather reliable data that informs accurate assessment and decision-making.

4

Reporting + engineering recommendations

We deliver clear reports and practical engineering recommendations to support compliance, design decisions, and confident project delivery.

“We tailor investigation scope to project stage and regulatory requirements.”

Our geotechnical engineering team has proven success across development and infrastructure projects of all scales, delivering reliable data and practical engineering insight to support confident, compliant decision-making.

Due Diligence Project: Contamination & Geotechnical Assessment (NSW)

Nova Group Pacific was engaged by a private developer to deliver a due diligence contamination and geotechnical assessment for a proposed residential subdivision in Shellharbour (NSW), providing early certainty around site suitability and regulatory compliance.

What we delivered

We completed a detailed contamination and geotechnical investigation, including soil sampling, laboratory analysis, and subsurface testing to assess ground conditions and material suitability for development.

Outcome

Our findings confirmed the site’s suitability for residential use, reduced environmental and geotechnical risk, and gave the client confidence to progress planning and development with certainty.

Smart Compliance Check

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Common Questions About Our Services

Our FAQs provide quick answers to common questions about our environmental, geotechnical, and remediation services, helping you understand how we support your project from start to finish.

How quickly can you mobilise for geotechnical investigations and drilling?

We can typically mobilise within a short timeframe once the project scope, site access, and any necessary approvals are confirmed. For urgent projects, we prioritise resources to meet tight programs while maintaining safety, quality, and regulatory compliance

Can you support DA / tender / construction-stage projects?

Yes, our geotechnical and drilling services are designed to support all project phases, including planning and approvals (DA and tender), through to construction stage execution. We provide clear subsurface data, reporting and recommendations that align with design, compliance and procurement requirements.

Do you provide combined geotechnical + contamination insights?

Yes, we integrate geotechnical investigation with environmental and contamination analysis where needed. This means we can assess soil, rock and groundwater conditions alongside contamination risk, giving you a single cohesive data set for design, compliance and remediation planning.

What locations do you service for geotechnical investigations?

We provide geotechnical engineering and drilling services across NSW and Australia-wide, including key regions such as Byron Bay, Coffs Harbour, Sydney, Wollongong and the South Coast.

What information do you need to provide a geotechnical services quote?

To prepare a comprehensive quote, we typically need:
- Your project address or site coordinates
- Scope of works (e.g., investigation type, drilling depth)
- Project stage and timeframe
- Any available site reports or historical data
Providing this information helps us tailor an accurate scope and cost estimate.
