Projects encountering difficult ground conditions require geotechnical engineering to determine the properties of the soil and rock in order to design a cost effective and technically appropriate foundation solution.  Full determination of the engineering properties permits optimisation of the design and highlights any potential engineering problems, hence minimising future remedial works and costly delays.  The construction of wind farm projects in areas of peat requires the need for geotechnical experience of peat soils to identify potential stability issues and design engineering solutions to overcome them.

Our extensive experience covers the geotechnical issues associated with a broad aspect of engineering and environmental projects including transportation,wind farms, wastewater treatment plant and landfill design.  This breath of expertise in geotechnical analysis and interpretation combined with the latest knowledge and software enables us to provide cost effective innovative ground engineering design solutions.
