Services

Geotechnical Engineering

Excavation, shoring, dewatering, slope stability and ground-improvement design for difficult ground.

Our services range from initial site evaluations for conceptual and pre-feasibility studies 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 generation projects.
