Submit the contact form or call KFM with your project details. KFM responds within 1 business day to acknowledge your enquiry and clarify the scope.
KFM reviews the project documentation, site address, and requirements, then issues a fee proposal and scope of works within 2–3 business days.
Field works are mobilised, including drilling, sampling, and in-situ testing, supervised by a senior engineer or geologist.
Collected samples are tested in accordance with relevant Australian Standards
Data is analysed, engineering recommendations are prepared, and a draft report is issued for client review.
Where required, KFM provides on-site inspections, certificates, and real-time geotechnical advice during excavation, filling, or piling.
KFM’s work is informed by relevant Australian Standards, council requirements, and project-specific engineering guidelines where applicable.

Soldier pile, contiguous pile, secant pile, sheet pile, diaphragm wall and CSM. The right system depends on the ground profile, groundwater conditions, the depth of excavation, and how much movement the neighbouring structures and services can tolerate.
Yes. KFM designs both temporary and permanent geo-structures — shoring walls, retaining walls, foundation piles, shallow foundations, soil nails and soil anchors — and supports clients from due diligence and project risk analysis through to design approval and delivery.
Sydney Water requires a Specialist Engineering Assessment where proposed works could affect its assets, commonly when excavation, shoring or piling falls within the zone of influence of a sewer or water main. KFM prepares the geotechnical appraisal and the supporting analysis for SEA submissions.
Yes. KFM uses finite element analysis in PLAXIS to model excavation sequences, predict wall and ground movements, and assess the effect of the works on adjacent structures and buried assets.
Yes. KFM carries out slope stability assessment and design, landslip and landslide risk assessment, and landslip and landslide remediation design.
Yes. Piling platform design sits within KFM’s geo-structure scope, and the same team can inspect and assess the constructed platform on site before the rig is set up.
Talk to our engineering team about your project requirements. We’ll clarify the scope, advise on investigation methodology, and provide a fixed-fee proposal.
