Our Story

Founded in 1988.

For more than 38+ years, the company has been providing engineering consultancy and geotechnical advice to clients across residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects throughout Australia. What began as a laboratory testing service has grown into a well-established practice delivering practical, technically sound solutions supported by decades of experience.

A significant development in the company’s history was the integration of GeoSense Drilling. GeoSense was founded and managed by Mr James Zhao since its stablishment in 2016 and operated successfully for more than ten years under his management before becoming part of the STS Group. This integration created a fully coordinated service offering, combining engineering consultancy with in-house drilling and field investigation capabilities.

Throughout its history, STS has benefited from long-serving team members who have contributed across both technical and operational roles. This continuity has helped maintain consistent standards and deep industry knowledge within the business. Today, under the leadership of Mr Mrigesh as General Manager of the STS Group (STS Geotechnics and GeoSense), the company continues to deliver geotechnical, environmental, and drilling services with the stability and experience built over nearly five decades.

With strong accreditations, comprehensive insurance coverage, and a leadership team with extensive industry experience, STS remains focused on providing clients with reliable, integrated solutions backed by proven technical capability and long-term operational strength.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before engaging a geotechnical engineer for your project.

GeoSense is STS Geotechnics' in-house drilling and field investigation arm. When you engage STS, GeoSense's rigs and crews carry out the on-site drilling, sampling, and monitoring well installation as part of one coordinated scope — so you deal with a single team from fieldwork through to final report, not two separate contractors.

Field work for a standard residential or small commercial investigation typically takes one day on site. The full report — including laboratory testing, analysis, and writing — is usually delivered within 5–10 business days from fieldwork completion. Complex sites, large subdivisions, or projects requiring specialist testing may take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront.

Yes. While our office is based in Wetherill Park, NSW, we regularly undertake projects across all Australian states and territories. Our team has delivered geotechnical investigations in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and the ACT. Contact us to discuss logistics and availability for interstate projects.
