“N.G. Stebbing & Associates, Structural Engineers have had long standing professional relationship with Morrison Geotechnic & in particular with their Senior Engineer Mr. Dennis Riley, who has provided clear and accurate geotechnical advice on a large variety of projects that we as structural engineers have been involved in over the years, including but not limited to Multi Storey concrete framed residential buildings, subterranean basement excavations, shoring solutions & foundation design.
I have no hesitation in recommending Dennis & the firm Morrison Geotechnic to provide professional advice & undertake the geotechnical testing & reporting required for a project.”
Mr Neil Stebbing — Director, N.G. Stebbing & Associate
“I have commissioned Morrison Geotechnic for all my Company’s geotechnical related consultancy requirements over the past 13 years. My business has engaged exclusively in the development and construction of multi residential development over that period.
At all times Morrison Geotechnic have provided dependable, responsible and efficent outcomes. Further, at all times I have found Morrison Geotechnic management of good character. I recommend Morrison Geotechnic for any geotechnical commision.”

“Morrison Geotechnical have been instrumental in geotechnical design solutions for our projects over the last 10 years, and 5 years previously when I was a consulting engineer. Morrison design solutions have allowed over $500M of our projects in very difficult geotechnical conditions to proceed ahead of schedule and on budget.
After using the majority of geotechnical engineers throughout Australia and Asia over the last 20 years and completing substantial sized projects, I believe Dennis Riley of Morrison Geotechnics is in the top of his field providing geotechnical solutions which allow projects to be financially viable and furthermore reduce costs and time.”
