What Sets Us Apart
Trusted by Asset Owners, Managers, Architects, and Engineers
Experienced
Decades of combined engineering knowledge across multiple sectors inform practical, efficient solutions. Our breadth of design and investigation experience delivers outcomes grounded in real-world constraints and proven methodologies.
Ready & Reliable
Consistent, dependable service backed by proven methods. TRSC is available to respond immediately during times of need, stress, or emergencies, providing expert structural engineering support when it matters most.
Collaborative
TRSC integrates engineering services within multi-partner projects. We respect existing stakeholder roles, coordinate across disciplines, and deliver outcomes aligned with project goals and timelines, partnering with engineers, not competing with them.

Across Every Discipline
Structural Investigation
NDT, material sampling & analysis through NATA-accredited partner laboratories. Evidence-based investigation that determines proportionate intervention.
Learn more →Condition Assessment
Building and construction condition surveys with AS/NZS ISO 31000 risk matrix. Quantified deterioration, remediation hierarchy, and RPEQ-signed reports for your asset.
Learn more →Root Cause Analysis
Systematic determination of why a defect occurred, not just what is wrong, but the mechanism driving it. Prevents remediation that treats symptoms instead of causes.
Learn more →Materials Testing
Concrete coring, chloride profiling, carbonation depth, petrographic analysis, and steel section loss assessment. NATA-accredited laboratory partners.
Learn more →Dilapidation Survey
Pre-construction dilapidation reports for adjacent properties before excavation, piling or demolition. RPEQ photo and video baselines that hold up to insurance and planning review.
Learn more →Residual Design Life Assessment
Quantified remaining service life for each material system. Enables capital planning over 25, 50, and 75-year horizons based on tested material properties.
Learn more →Remediation Design
Targeted solutions restoring capacity and durability, sequenced to minimise operational disruption. Phased programmes aligned with capital planning.
Learn more →Disaster Response
Emergency structural assessment within 48 hrs. From Q1 Spire to coastal storm damage, we mobilise fast.
Learn more →Facade & Glazing Investigation
Root cause investigation for facade failures, glazing defects, weatherproofing breaches, and cladding non-compliance. BMU and rope access. RPEQ-certified reports.
Learn more →Facade Remediation Design
Evidence-based remediation specifications for facades, curtain walls, glazing systems, and cladding. Root cause confirmed before works begin. Form 15 RPEQ certification included.
Learn more →Asset owners and builders most often engage TRSC for construction condition surveys of their own assets, pre-construction dilapidation surveys of neighbouring properties, and structural investigation Brisbane engagements backed by RPEQ-certified structural reporting.
The Gap Nobody FillsYour engineer finds the issues.
Your engineer finds the issues.
Who determines the extent?
Standard engineering reports identify every visible defect, as they should. But without quantifying how far each defect extends and how severe it actually is, remediation contractors price the worst case. Contingencies stack. Costs escalate. And the asset owner pays for uncertainty, not condition.
TRSC Fills This VoidRead our methodology
We determine the extent and severity of every defect before it reaches a remediation quote, enabling efficient works executed over time, targeting critical areas when required instead of pricing everything at once.
Prioritised scope
Critical first, deferred items to maintenance
No latent surprises
Extent measured, contingencies eliminated
Phased budgets
Spread across periods, not one capital hit
Longer asset life
Hit key areas when needed, not all at once
Marine Infrastructure

Marina Mirage
Coastal Wharves
A 37-year-old marine boardwalk approaching its design life, with a major redevelopment planned. Rather than default to full demolition, TRSC's three-stage investigation and Make Safe & Monitor approach is keeping the infrastructure serviceable during refurbishment, reducing project costs significantly through targeted intervention instead of blanket replacement.

Our ApproachReal People.
Real People.
Real Outcomes.
We Take On The Risk
As investigative engineers, we target high-risk projects requiring specialised expertise. We assess deteriorated structures, fire-damaged buildings, and heritage assets where standard approaches are insufficient.
Availability
We mobilise immediately for time-critical situations: sudden deterioration, regulatory notices, compliance deadlines, or project delays. When the structural question is urgent, we respond without delay.
Experience
Our team brings decades of combined experience across investigations, engineering, and construction, including heritage buildings, fire-damaged assets, and aging infrastructure.
Collaboration
We partner with incumbent engineers rather than compete. Our specialised investigation and heritage expertise complements existing consultant capabilities.

MethodologyMake Safe
Make Safe
& Monitor
Most structural failures are preceded by warning signs. TRSC's five-level hierarchy begins with making a structure safe and monitoring its behaviour, not defaulting to expensive remediation before the evidence demands it.
This evidence-first philosophy consistently identifies proportionate intervention scopes, replacing conservative assumptions with measured data while maintaining strict compliance with Australian standards.

AboutThe Engineering Brain
The Engineering Brain
Behind Complex Assets
TRSC was founded by Lachlan Pagan, a chartered structural engineer with registrations across Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. The practice was built on a single premise: that existing assets deserve rigorous engineering attention, not conservative over-specification.
Every recommendation is backed by physical testing, laboratory analysis, and documented evidence, delivering outcomes that protect capital while meeting every relevant Australian standard.
