Geotechnical Engineering and Foundation Design Support

We will produce an economical and efficient foundation design to keep development costs as low as possible while ensuring regulatory approval and compliance with national standards. We can analyse various geotechnical challenges, such as high water tables, dissolution features and clay/ chalk in the ground.

Our thorough Design and Calculation packs minimise discussions with warranty providers at the detailed design stage, allowing foundation geotechnical elements to be signed off quickly without any remedial works being required on site. This enables our clients to achieve quicker completion on sold units without delays in warranty approvals.

As all design is completed in-house, if any unknown or unexpected ground conditions are encountered on-site, we can deal with them efficiently and quickly. This means our clients can maintain the programme with minimal input required from them in terms of design coordination.

Ground Investigation Review

We assess borehole records, trial pit logs, laboratory testing and groundwater data to establish a detailed understanding of site conditions.

Engineering Analysis

Our engineers evaluate bearing capacity, settlement behaviour, groundwater interactions and other geotechnical factors that influence foundation performance.

Foundation Strategy Development

Potential foundation options are reviewed and assessed against project requirements, site constraints and construction considerations.

Design Optimisation

Opportunities for value engineering, programme efficiencies and material savings are explored to achieve practical and cost-effective solutions.

Construction Support

Technical advice and engineering support are provided throughout the construction phase where required.
