Geotechnical engineering

This service examines  the interaction between the soil and the structure it supports, focusing on the mutual stress exchange between the two. Independent ground modelling and SSI analysis are performed to study the load-settlement behaviour of pile groups under a raft.

This analysis ensures that the actual loads on the piles remain within their geotechnical capacity and that settlements are within allowable limits.

Also known as “Soil improvement review”, this service involves:

• Reviewing pre- and post-improvement testing records, including CPT (Cone Penetration Test) results and zone load tests.

• Evaluating ground improvement techniques implemented on site.
• Assessing post-improvement CPT results to verify enhancements in the soil properties and mitigation of liquefaction risks.
• Reviewing zone load test results to evaluate improvements in bearing capacity and load-settlement behaviour.
• Comparing post-improvement test results against project-specific ground improvement acceptance and performance criteria.

Ensuring compliance with project specifications and local authority requirements
