RPS in the USA

Geotechnics

RPS can determine and overcome the engineering implications of remediation design on development projects. Our chartered geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists are experienced in most aspects of both onshore and offshore geotechnical engineering.

We offer geotechnical engineering support at any stage of a project from the design of land or marine site investigations to detailed analysis of foundations, slopes stability analysis and earthworks assessments.

We carry out geotechnical work to assist, industrial and waste sectors and national road authorities, in addition to supporting the oil and gas and renewable energy sectors.
