About Us

Leading providers of local geotechnical services for the Territory

As an Engineer, Owner, or Supervisor in the Northern Territory government, construction, defence, or mining industries, you face a number of unique geotechnical challenges. Perhaps you’re sick of:

• Test results holding up your projects
• Test results that fail (particularly when you’re not given prior warning)
• Or, struggling to come up with solutions to keep your projects running on time and to budget

At HiQA, we get your frustration. A Territory-owned-and-operated business since the late 1980s, we deliver local geotechnical services to prevent these issues and ensure your projects run smoothly.

With HiQA, you can be sure you’re using suitable materials for the correct application. In fact, we like to think of ourselves as your ‘Dirt Doctor’ insurance policy – delivering the fast, accurate test results you need upfront to avoid costly and time-consuming rectification testing (or worse, site repair work) down the track.

Our brand promise is a ‘Yes’ experience for everyone – including our customers, suppliers, and HiQA team members. With HiQA, there’s no such word as ‘No.’ Reach out to us and you’ll always hear, ‘Yes’ – whatever your question. Even if a request seems impossible, we go above and beyond to find a fast solution to keep your project running on time and to budget. You can count on us to not only say ‘Yes’, but to work with you to get the outcome you need. If your results look like they’re failing, we’ll support you to get them up to a pass as quickly as possible.

Where can you find us?

We have fully-equipped base laboratories in three convenient locations – Darwin, Katherine, and Alice Springs – and can also come to your project, wherever you are, with our mobile site laboratories.
