GEOTECHNICAL

We offer a top-quality Geotechnical Engineering consulting service for Engineers, Architects, main contractors, specialist sub-contractors, developers and the insurance industry. 

We have extensive experience in:

• foundations of all types
• retaining walls of all types
• reinforced earth and soil nailing
• slope stability
• basement construction
• site investigation and testing

We offer a comprehensive design service for any geotechnical works, either permanent or temporary. We have access to the latest design software including finite element analysis as well as a suite of in-house developed tools to ensure that designs are efficient and cost effective.

Our detailed knowledge of  Eurocodes and UK national standards including those applied to highway and rail projects will ensure that our designs fully comply with client requirements.

We also offer an independent design check service for high category structures. 

We recognise the significant up front cost of carrying out a site investigation but also the massive importance of such work in reducing risk.

We offer a key service to clients to specify, and instruct if necessary, these works to ensure they are properly targeted at the information required for your project. This approach ensures that both costs and risk are kept to minimum.

Our soil mechanics expertise also allows us to provide detailed interpretation of investigations and testing, again targeted at efficient design. 

We have extensive experience and expertise in the forensic investigation of serviceability failures related to geotechnical issues. We can provide initial inspection, ongoing monitoring and reports, back analysis of structures and advice on remedial solutions to property owners and/or insurers.

Expert witness services are also available for any dispute resolution process.

Geotechnical solutions, particularly retaining walls and reinforced earth solutions are increasing using proprietary systems

We have a wealth of experience in the imaginative design of such products and can help with the testing, accreditation and intellectual property protection of your systems.
