Slabline Ltd
Throughout the years, we’ve firmly established ourselves as leaders in the concrete floor industry.
Engineering Services
The experienced team at LDE are experts in geotechnical, civil and structural engineering, as well as geologists and environmental experts. We find smart, cost-effective solutions for challenging projects. From infrastructure design and land development to building your dream home, we can help. We work collaboratively with our clients providing reliable, innovative and practical solutions and ensuring a seamless and hassle-free project experience.
We are associated with:
Services
Building & Resource Consents
Many projects require a resource or building consent. Engineering is usually an important aspect of most Consents and needs to be undertaken by experts. From the largest development to the smallest local project LDE specialise in expert engineering input and reporting to support your Building or Resource Consent application.
Civil Engineering:
Civil engineering requires consideration of environmental and site factors as in our experience, too many projects lack the necessary preparation. This is a costly mistake but easily avoided with a collaborative planned approach
Coastal Engineering
Our coastal/maritime engineers have the knowledge and experience in coastlines all over New Zealand, particularly in areas with a higher risk of tsunami and erosion. LDE has a strong interest and knowledge of specific demands posed by marine and coastal engineering. As engineering consultants, we provide specialist advice and design expertise to consider associated environmental challenges, impacts and degradation, such as waves, surges and saltwater. From structural assessments and remediation options to specialist pier, pontoon and seawall design, our experienced team can provide asset-specific recommendations.
Drilling Services
LDE has been in the drilling business since 2005. With all this experience, we know how to produce exceptional data. Our plots are perfect for geotechnical interpretation – clear information and a log of interpreted data calibrated to New Zealand standards give you everything needed to understand the site quickly. We will undertake core logging for you if you wish.
Engineering Geology
A sound understanding of the broader geological setting, and controls, is essential to the success of any project interfacing with the ground. LDE’s team of engineering geologists are experts in ground investigation, geological interpretation, geomorphology, and monitoring data capture. We combine these strengths in the development of robust ground models to understand geological risk, natural hazards and ground performance. With chartered Professional Engineering Geologists in all of our regions, you can be confident we have the expertise, focus and experience to help your project succeed.
Environmental Engineering
LDE are Land and Water Environmental Science and Engineering experts. We have extensive experience in:
Geophysics
Geophysics (as well as invasive drilling services) allows us to understand ground subsurface conditions. When applied to certain projects, geophysics insights can support an otherwise discarded project, substantially change other engineering designs and reduce uncertainty.
The expected ground shaking (intensity and shape of the waveform) and thus earthquake loading on buildings and their foundations is a function of earthquake magnitude and the area’s underlying geology. Understanding this geology via Geophysical methods helps us understand seismic risk. This can then be used to support, enhance or negate a design theory before a geotechnical design is undertaken and reduce the risk of a problematic peer review.
Geotechnical Engineering
LDE’s team of geotechnical engineers bring a broad skill set and a wealth of experience. We have Chartered Professionals in each of our regions, and we pride ourselves on finding cost-effective solutions to challenging technical problems.
Communication, collaboration and a ‘can-do’ attitude underpin the efficient delivery of our services.
Structural Engineering
LDE’s structural team are specialists in their field, from assessments and strengthening options to specialist design and drafting expertise.
In addition to developing and improving systems for new and existing structures, our structural engineering also considers technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social aspects.
This ensures sound design outcomes, particularly with geotechnically challenging building sites. We’ll work alongside you to determine the most practical and cost-effective structural design solutions. Our approachable team will be with you every step of the way.
