Mine Subsidence Engineering
Structural Engineering for Building in a Mine Subsidence District
At Elevate Structural Engineering, we design and document homes, additions and structures on land sitting above old or active underground mines. If your block is inside a Mine Subsidence District, you need approval from Subsidence Advisory NSW before you build, and the design has to suit the Surface Development Guideline assigned to that property. We handle the design, so the approval goes through without the back and forth.
Our Mine Subsidence Engineering Process
Property & Guideline Check – Reviewing the Surface Development Guideline Subsidence Advisory NSW has assigned to your property in the Mine Subsidence District.
Site & Subsidence Assessment – Assessing soil conditions and the ground movement the design needs to tolerate.
Compliant Structural Design – Footing and slab systems designed in line with AS 2870, AS 3700 and the Surface Development Guidelines
Subsidence Advisory NSW Approval – Preparing the drawings and documentation for you to submit to your certifier, council or Subsidence Advisory NSW.
Construction Support & Certification – Site inspections and certification confirming the build matches the approved design.
