Services
Foundation design
We specialise in designing shallow and deep foundation systems tailored to complex geological conditions. Our solutions ensure stability and longevity for infrastructure, urban developments, and high-rise buildings. By integrating advanced analysis tools, we optimise designs for safety and cost-efficiency.
Geo-environmental assessments
Our team conducts Phase I and II geo-environmental risk assessments to evaluate land contamination and regulatory compliance. We support brownfield redevelopment by identifying liabilities and designing remediation strategies aligned with planning requirements and environmental standards.
3D finite element analysis
We employ advanced 3D finite element modelling to simulate ground-structure interactions and assess impacts of construction on existing infrastructure. This technology enables precise predictions of soil behaviour and structural performance under complex loading conditions.
Slope engineering
Our slope engineering services include stability analysis and mitigation measures for natural and man-made slopes. We address risks posed by topography, weather systems, and construction activities, ensuring safety for transport links and development projects.
Construction surveillance
We provide on-site construction surveillance to ensure compliance with design specifications and safety standards. Our engineers monitor critical phases, from temporary works to permanent structure installation, offering real-time solutions to mitigate risks during construction.
