Geotechnical Engineering

We provide expertise from ground characterisation through site investigation to geotechnical design, including numerical analysis and soil-structure interaction where appropriate, offering a complete service in ground engineering design.

Our engineers provide expertise in:

  • Earthworks design, specification, and site supervision
  • Soil and rock mechanics with respect to slope stability evaluation and design
  • Foundations, retaining walls and underground structures design
  • Geotechnical instrumentation specification and monitoring services

We also undertake:

  • Numerical modelling of the ground and soil / structure interaction
  • Desk studies
  • Ground investigation design, procurement, management and supervision
  • Site characterisation
  • Groundwater assessment
  • Specialist design using geosynthetic and geocomposite materials
  • Ground improvement assessment and design
  • Soil and rock characterisation
  • Engineering geology
  • Expert witness services

These services are often undertaken in conjunction with geo-environmental specialists to address related issues of contamination, groundwater treatment and reuse of geomaterials for regeneration projects. A number of staff are qualified as a Geotechnical Specialist or Geotechnical Advisor which will be important categories in the imminent UK Register of Ground Engineering Professionals required to oversee and sign off geotechnical activities.
