Civil engineering plays a critical role in the long-term performance and stability of any property. From foundation systems to surface drainage, even seemingly small design or construction flaws can lead to structural damage, safety concerns, and unexpected repair costs.
At Higgins & Associates, our civil engineering consultants specialise in diagnosing and resolving issues that arise from the interaction between built structures and the surrounding environment – particularly in regions with challenging soil conditions, such as expansive and collapsible soils.
Common Civil Engineering Challenges We Solve
Whether working on residential, commercial, or municipal properties, we help clients understand and resolve civil engineering concerns involving:
- Foundation Systems – Including slab-on-grade, stem-wall, structural floor, and pier and beam construction
- Concrete Flatwork – Evaluation of driveways, walkways, and slab integrity
- Grading & Drainage – Assessment and design improvements to prevent water intrusion and soil displacement
- Parking Lots & Driveways – Damage assessments, deterioration reports, and repair guidance
