Scope of services
- Ground and foundation investigation reports
- Planning of boreholes, SPT and in-situ testing
- Evaluation of soil and rock mechanics laboratory tests
- Bearing capacity and settlement analysis
- Slope stability analysis
- Landslide, liquefaction and ground-related hazard assessment
- Geotechnical assessments for dams, ponds, tunnels and mines
Our approach
We interpret borehole, in-situ and laboratory results together with the geological and hydrogeological setting. This integrated approach, which accounts for the effect of groundwater on ground behaviour, produces practical engineering recommendations rather than numbers alone.
Deliverables
- Ground and foundation investigation report
- Borehole logs and test results
- Bearing capacity, settlement and stability calculations
- Ground improvement and drainage recommendations
Who is it for?
Building and infrastructure investors, contractors, municipalities, mining operations and energy facilities.
Frequently asked questions
When should a ground investigation be carried out?
Before design starts. Foundation type, depth and any ground improvement are defined by the investigation; ground problems found later multiply costs.
How does groundwater affect a ground investigation?
A high water table can reduce bearing capacity, increase liquefaction risk and require dewatering during excavation, so we always consider hydrogeological conditions in geotechnical assessments.
