Geotechnical Engineering
We have extensive specialist experience in the following areas of geotechnical work:
- gound investigation - desk study, factual and interpretative reporting
- shallow foundations - pads, strip footings, rafts
- deep foundations - driven piles, bored piles, CFA piles, barrettes
- retaining walls - sheet pile, diaphragm, secant, contiguous, king post
- underground structures - basements, boxes, cut and cover tunnels, bored tunnels
- rock mechanics - rock bolts, anchors, sprayed concrete
- earthworks and fill - properties, behaviour, specification, control
- slopes - natural, cuttings, embankments
- reinforced soils - geotextiles, geogrids, soil nails, ground anchors
- ground improvement - dynamic compaction, stone columns, grouting, lime stabilisation
- ground movement prediction - foundations, retaining walls, tunnelling
- soil-structure interaction - foundations, retaining walls, underground structures
