Geotechnical Engineering
Ground investigation, foundation design, materials testing and slope stability.
Ground investigation is the cheapest risk you will ever buy.
We run site investigation and materials testing, then turn the results into foundation and earthworks designs that a contractor can actually build.
Our laboratory and field teams support highway, bridge, building and marine projects across the country.
What this involves
Site investigation
Boreholes, trial pits, CPT and in-situ testing planned around the structure being designed.
Laboratory testing
Classification, strength, consolidation and compaction testing to national and international standards.
Foundation design
Shallow and piled foundation design, settlement analysis and ground improvement options.
Earthworks and slope stability
Cut and fill design, slope stability analysis and retaining structure selection.
Materials and pavement testing
CBR, aggregate and asphalt testing for construction quality control.
