Thirty-five years solving complex underground problems, in Australia and globally.

About us

Since 1989, SCT’s methods and instruments have been developed and tested in active underground environments where practical insight and reliable information matters as much as technical precision. The work has never been static. Interpretation of ground conditions has been sharpened. A deeper understanding of the critical data has been developed. Measurement techniques have been refined. That is what 35 years of continuous field and research work builds.

Built around the problem, not the discipline

SCT’s capability grew around the problem, not the discipline. Thirty-five years of continuous learning and ongoing research, have built a practical, real-world problem-solving approach that is deeply embedded in the business. The questions have become sharper because the ground keeps asking new ones.
