§01 — Who We Are

A ground improvement specialist built for the hardest ground.

Pointe Engineering delivers practical, high-impact solutions across challenging environments — known for reliability and a hands-on approach. We work with engineering consultancies, asset owners, mine operators, councils and civil contractors to deliver critical outcomes safely and efficiently.

Our vision: to be the go-to contractor for challenging and difficult-access projects across Australia — recognised for capability, reliability, and the ability to deliver where others cannot.

§02 — Core Capabilities

Three core disciplines. One specialist team.

From strengthening the ground to securing slopes and investigating what lies beneath — engineered for the sites others can't reach.

Grouting and ground improvement works
01
Ground Improvement

Grouting

Specialist permeation, pressure and chemical grouting to strengthen ground, control groundwater and improve soil performance — restoring capacity with minimal disturbance.

  • Permeation & pressure grouting
  • Chemical / resin injection
  • Groundwater & seepage control
  • Soil strengthening & consolidation
Slope stabilisation mesh on steep rock

Securing the Slope

Slope Stabilisation

Soil nails, rock bolts, shotcrete and mesh systems across steep and unstable terrain — with IRATA-certified rope access reaching where conventional plant cannot.

  • Soil nails & rock bolts
  • Shotcrete application
  • Mesh & rockfall protection
  • IRATA rope-access delivery

§03 — Geotechnical Investigation

Specialists in limited-access investigation.

Scroll to drill. Our modular, man-portable rigs reach what others can't — capturing core, in-situ data and instrumentation at every depth. This is what we do best.

§04 — Difficult Access

Access is the obstacle. It's also our specialty.

Modular rigs break into carryable modules and deploy up to two kilometres from a laydown area. IRATA-certified technicians set up on ropes to work steep, high-risk faces — safely and to ISO-certified standards.

Environmental Advantage

No fuel. No hydraulic fluid. Nothing to spill.

Our limited-access rigs are pneumatically driven — powered by clean compressed air. The compressor, fuel and hydraulics all stay back at the laydown; only air travels up the line to the drill. At the drill face itself there is no diesel, no hydraulic oil and no spill risk — which is exactly why councils and authorities with strict environmental constraints choose Pointe for work near waterways, bushland and protected ground.

Heathcote Road
Geotechnical Investigation

Client · AECOM

Engaged by AECOM, Pointe delivered a geotechnical investigation along Heathcote Road — a major arterial cutting through environmentally sensitive bushland in Sydney's south-west, near the Georges River. Working within strict environmental controls, our crews completed pneumatic core drilling and Standard Penetration Testing across a constrained, ecologically protected corridor.

Slope Remediation

Client · CMC  ·  End client · Transport & Main Roads (QLD)

High-risk slope remediation along the Mount Spec Range near Townsville. Engaged by head contractor CMC — delivering for Transport & Main Roads — our IRATA rope-access crews installed soil nails, sub-horizontal drains and shotcrete across steep, landslip-affected batters above a live mountain road, working day and night to restore a critical regional route.
