ABOUT US
CGC was established in 2015 by three like-minded engineers who were driven to create a company that provided smart solutions to geotechnical challenges, while making a positive impact on our community. The CGC business model is underpinned by a commitment to building trusting partnerships and developing innovative solutions for clients, while creating stronger foundations in our community. In 2019, CGC was certified as a social enterprise by Social Traders, formally recognising CGC's commitment to improving learning opportunities for young people.
We are recognised professionals in transport and civil geotechnics
CGC provides specialist geotechnical engineering services for transport and civil infrastructure and have been selected as partners on many of South East Queensland’s most important transport infrastructure projects. Our extensive experience, knowledge, and highest possible geotechnical accreditations equip us to deliver smart, practical, and cost-effective engineering solutions, alongside positive social change. We have offices in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
We are committed to positive social change
We are Australia’s only certified engineering social enterprise, investing half our profits into programs designed to improve learning opportunities for young people. Our investment in social impact is changing the lives of young people.
