Dr. Seidel has had an association with Monash University since 1974 as an undergraduate, alumnus, postgraduate PhD student, lecturer, researcher and now Honorary Associate.  This long association has resulted in strong ties to the faculty, and Foundation QA engages other academic staff to provide review, or to assist with other geotechnical, structural, hydraulic or hydrologic aspects of projects where necessary.
Dr. Seidel also provides occasional lectures in foundation engineering topics to undergraduate students and at postgraduate courses with the University.

The Monash Civil Engineering laboratories are well equipped with specialized and even unique testing equipment, and Foundation QA provides consulting testing services with Monash on large projects both in Australia and overseas.
Dr. Seidel also maintains an association with current faculty staff in their undergraduate and postgraduate research activities.
