At Menard Oceania, we design and construct ground engineering solutions that set the standard for ground improvement throughout Australia. Our scope ranges from small to large infrastructure-based projects across a broad range of market segments for both private and public stakeholders, including Ports and Coastal Infrastructure, Transport, Dams, Industrial and Commercial Buildings, Heavy Industry, and Mining. Notable milestones include Australia’s largest single-stage Menard Vacuum™ consolidation at Fisherman Island (Port of Brisbane), major stone-column and wick-drain schemes at Port Botany and Webb Dock (Melbourne), CMC and dynamic replacement applications for tank foundations at Vopak’s Sydney terminal and Kwinana in WA, and coastal infrastructure works in and around Auckland. With local offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Port Moresby and Auckland, we combine regional delivery with global geotechnical expertise to solve complex soil challenges on reclaimed land, soft clays, and seismically sensitive ground. Menard enables the construction of vital port assets, tanks, warehouses on solid foundations with minimal disruption. We are the go-to when trying to build on poor quality soil such as on land reclaimed space. We also have the ability to set up real-time asset monitoring and provide long-term assessment and geotechnical support but also site investigation pre- and post-geotechnical works for a complete package. Our expertise extends to land remediation and in particular treatment of contaminated sites including all types of contaminants (Hydrocarbon, heavy metals, PFAS, ASS/PASS, etc.) through a combination of in situ remediation, contamination confinement and long-term monitoring. We are the one-stop contractor with all aspects of land development and remediation! Our commitment to excellence has also been recognised by industry, with the 2009 Innovation Award from the Institution of Engineers Queensland Division acknowledging our pioneering application of vacuum consolidation at the Port of Brisbane, together with several nominations over the years for similar projects and applications. Menard Oceania is the Australian subsidiary of Menard and part of the Soletanche Freyssinet Group, world leaders in geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineering construction.
