Geotechnical Engineering
The greatest risk in any construction project lies in the most variable substance on the planet - the ground beneath our feet. We use deep expertise to tackle even the most complex of issues that may arise and provide clarity on these conditions.
Managing geotechnical risk
From initial concept, through investigation and design, to construction and validation, we ensure geotechnical risks are comprehensively managed throughout the project lifecycle.
We have demonstrated success in projects across all development sectors, ranging from residential developments to major highways and transportation schemes. Recently, this includes High Speed 2, the largest ground investigation ever undertaken in the UK.
Whether you are acquiring, selling, managing or developing land, we are uniquely positioned to evolve to the changing needs of even the most technically challenging projects.
