Our goal: Toprovide you with the geotechnical information you really need to know.
Geo-Logic Ltd is a small geotechnical consultancy operating out of sunny Nelson. With clientsranging from individuals requiring geotechnical reports for building approval, to localauthorities, the Department of Conservation (
DoC ), and the
EQC , ourproject work is varied in style and scope. While the majority of projects are located in the‘top-of-the South’ Island, others farther-afield have included work for the Punakaiki Villaseco-resort on the West Coast and projects in the Chatham Islands.
The Nelson region has seen unprecedented growth in the last several years with a new focus on“large-scale” (for Nelson) multistory development along the waterfront (see photo). Working inassociation with local and national engineering firms we have provided geotechnical services tothree of the six major projects along Wakefield Quay.

Since Geo-Logic Limited commenced operations in April 2001, our staff has grown to two principalpermanent employees and a smaller support staff of technicians. Collectively the firm hascompleted more than 500 projects. Withthe implementation of a GIS(Geographic Information System) in 2003 we have initiated development of a geotechnical databaseto track project work in the Nelson Region. By compiling georeferenced site plans with ESRIArcView software our reports offer accurate, transferable spatial information that can beconveniently accessed, updated and shared.As well as “routine” geotechnical investigations and reports, the company takes anactive interest in projects which preserve and enhance the natural and built landscape. To date,this has included work for the Department of Conservation in Nelson, Tasman-Golden Bay and NelsonLakes NP, as well as reports for community trusts on the West Coast. It is also office policy toconserve resources and minimise waste.At Geo-Logic we excel at geo-forensic review of the recent history of asite. Together with deciphering the geotechnical setting, this enables us to provide the bestadvice to mitigate potential future geotechnical problems. In line with current EQC policy westrive to report our findings and recommendations in as transparent a manner as possible,supplying practical, appropriate and cost effective solutions.
