JHA Australia is a Forensic and Structural Engineering company actively consulting and providing reports for the analysis, refurbishment and repair of a variety of structures Australia-wide. Our Engineer can determine the cause, extent, methodology of repair and certify any repair work.

JHA Australia has over 30 years’ experience in Forensic and Structural Engineering. Our engineers each have knowledge and experience in all facets of the construction industry while specialising in forensic engineering.

JHA has a team of engineers who determine the cause and solve building and engineering problems whether it be from water penetration, subsidence, building deterioration or problems with a retaining wall.

JHA can accurately report on the extent of damage and repairs needed following structural failure, fires and natural disasters. We also have an experienced Design Team who can provide structural design, assessment and certification.

JHA Design Team can complete a structural analysis of an existing structure and provide comment as to whether it is in accordance with the current standards or “as built” standards. JHA can also complete designs for all new structures and provide accurate structural drawings for builders to work to.

For Structural Certification purposes the company consists of registered engineers in states throughout Australia.

Using the Building Code of Australia, we will investigate every aspect of your building using a variety of methods, including:

Physical inspection of all structural elements.

Laser lever measurements to identify possible foundation movements.

Ground penetrating radar, to verify steel reinforcement and concrete dimensions.

Schmidt impact compression strength measuring.

Design checks on most critical structural members to confirm structural adequacy for the purpose for which they were intended.
