Expertise
Geotechnical engineering
Design support for excavations, foundations and underground works in complex ground, static and dynamic, with 2D/3D soil–structure interaction and the real construction sequence.
Overview
When the ground doesn’t follow the textbook, we model what actually controls the design and follow it through every construction stage
A deep pit beside infrastructure that must keep running, a dense pile group under complex loads, a site where vibrations or earthquakes govern: we work alongside the design team on the cases standard procedures cannot cover.
Because we also test and model, our advice rests on measured material behaviour and on analyses that follow the real construction sequence, not conservative guesses.
Typical deliverables
What we provide
- Staged 2D / 3D models of the construction work
- Settlement, heave and convergence predictions
- Seismic and vibration impact assessments
- Verification of adjacent and existing structures
Capabilities
From the first sizing to the last construction stage
- Excavations and retainingstaged 2D/3D analyses of walls, anchors and soil nails, with their effect on adjacent structures
- Foundations and SSIpile and raft foundations, non-linear soil reaction, settlement and load sharing
- Soil dynamicsseismic site response, vibrations, cyclic loading and liquefaction
- Tunnels, shafts and works under operationconvergence, support interaction, underpinning and reinforcement
