Services
Project Assessment
Our project assessment begins with client meetings and site walkovers to clarify objectives and constraints. We analyze existing data to define project scope, identify risks, and develop actionable plans. This early-stage guidance ensures informed decision-making for cost-effective, compliant outcomes.
Site Investigation
We conduct comprehensive site investigations using drilling, cone penetration testing, and specialized equipment. Our methods adapt to challenging environments, including marine and urban areas. Data collection includes soil sampling and in-situ testing to characterize subsurface conditions for accurate engineering design.
Engineering Services
Our engineering team specializes in foundation design, slope stabilization, and ground improvement techniques. We address seismic risks and liquefaction potential while optimizing solutions for local soil conditions. Services include retaining wall design, landslide hazard assessments, and temporary works engineering for construction safety.
Road Design
We design road structures based on geotechnical investigations and municipal requirements. Our approach incorporates visual pavement surveys and Benkelman Beam testing to evaluate existing infrastructure. Solutions balance durability, drainage, and cost-efficiency for new developments and repair projects.
Pile Driving Analysis
Dynamic load testing using Pile Driving Analyzers (PDA) evaluates pile capacity and driving stresses. We employ CAPWAP software to analyze soil resistance and optimize pile design. This method reduces material costs by enabling higher geotechnical resistance factors under building code standards.
