Our foundation engineering services range from initial site evaluations for conceptual and pre-feasibility studies through to detailed site investigations and in-situ testing for detailed design.
Where justified, we provide state-of-the-art analysis of the dynamic behaviour of sensitive foundations for transportation infrastructure, mining-related structures and power generators for hydro-electric projects.
