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.

Our Values

What Drives Every
Decision We Make

01

Rigour Over Convenience

Subsurface conditions don't forgive shortcuts. We scope our investigations to what the site actually demands — not what is cheapest or fastest. Every recommendation is backed by field data, laboratory results, and engineering analysis. We would rather deliver difficult findings accurately than comfortable findings incorrectly.

02

Clarity in Communication

A geotechnical report that cannot be understood by the people who need to act on it has failed, regardless of its technical quality. We write clearly, present findings in plain language, and actively communicate with clients, structural engineers, and councils throughout a project — before a query becomes a programme delay.

Why STS Group

Integrated Engineering, Environmental & Drilling Capability

Geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, and in-house GeoSense drilling are delivered by one team from a single point of contact — no handoffs between departments, no disconnected subcontractors.
