Geotechnical Investigations
The study of soil and rock beneath a site to understand how the ground will behave under a structure.
We carry out in situ geotechnical tests to identify the nature, layer structure and characteristics of the soil, and geotechnical studies concerning stability, deformation and water flow in and around structures in contact with the ground. We also advise on the quality and bearing capacity of the soil and on foundation techniques.
