Company profile
Apex Geo Consultants was founded by Julian O'Reilly in 2020.
The company is based in Durban and operates nationally and internationally. Apex is dedicated to high quality customer focused geotechnical engineering investigation, design and construction. Apex works for a wide variety of clients including Main Contractors, Specialist piling and geotechnical Contractors and other Consultants.
The practice undertakes investigation, analysis, interpretation, reports, advice and designs for the ground and structures contained in it or founded on it. The identification and development of alternative cost effective practical ground engineering solutions is a key service. Particular specialisation includes the design and optimisation of retaining walls, piled foundations, ground anchors, soil nails, basements, tunnels, earthworks, slopes and conventional foundations.
With Julian's experience of working for a number of years in the United Kingdom, we are able to design to the latest Eurocodes as well as other well established Design Standards for geotechnical and structural design which often leads to a more optimal, lean and cost effective design.
Apex provides a single service point from initial feasibility or desk study through to intrusive ground investigation and laboratory testing, engineering assessments, engineering design, temporary works design and independent design checking and certification. We produce calculation reports, design drawings and schedules and specifications. We carry out the integrated geotechnical and structural design for “geotechnical structures” and operate a wide range of engineering analysis software.
The Apex service is based on a thorough understanding of client needs, technically sound investigation of problems and identification of robust yet economic, innovative and practical engineering solutions. We are a small specialist company so all of our clients receive and benefit from the personal attention.
