Contact Us >We provide a comprehensive range of ground investigation services to help you understand the ground conditions on your site. This includes everything from initial site surveys to detailed geotechnical investigations.
Cable percussion drilling is a cost-effective and efficient method of drilling through a variety of ground conditions. It is often used for ground investigation, environmental sampling, and utility installation.
Rotary drilling is a versatile drilling method that can be used for a wide range of applications. It is often used for ground investigation, water well drilling, and geothermal energy exploration.
Dynamic sampling and probing is a quick and efficient method of assessing the ground conditions. It is often used for preliminary site investigations and for determining the depth of bedrock.
We provide detailed engineering data and reports to help you make informed decisions about your project. Our reports include a comprehensive analysis of the ground conditions, as well as recommendations for foundation design and construction.
Rotary sonic drilling is a high-performance drilling method that can be used for a variety of applications. It is often used for ground investigation, environmental sampling, and utility installation.
Our in-house laboratory provides a wide range of geotechnical testing services. This includes soil classification, shear strength testing, and permeability testing.
We offer a variety of pile testing services to ensure that your piles are installed to the correct specifications. This includes static load testing, dynamic testing, and pile integrity testing.
Static load testing is a method of determining the load-bearing capacity of a pile. It involves applying a controlled load to the pile and measuring the resulting settlement.
Dynamic testing is a method of assessing the integrity of a pile. It involves driving a hammer into the pile and measuring the resulting rebound.
Pile integrity testing is a method of determining the condition of a pile. It involves using a variety of techniques to assess the pile's structural integrity.
Thermal integrity profiling is a method of assessing the condition of a pile. It involves using a thermal camera to detect any defects in the pile's structure.
We provide noise and vibration monitoring services to ensure that your project complies with all relevant regulations. Our monitoring services include the use of state-of-the-art equipment and experienced personnel.
Our team of geotechnical engineers provides a wide range of services, including site investigation, foundation design, and ground improvement.
Compaction grouting is a method of improving the ground conditions by injecting grout into the soil. This helps to increase the soil's density and strength.
Drilling and bulk infill grouting is a method of filling voids in the ground with grout. This is often used to stabilize slopes and foundations.
We offer a variety of slope stabilization services to prevent erosion and landslides. This includes the use of ground anchors, soil nails, and rock bolts.
We design and construct a variety of retaining structures to support slopes and excavations. This includes contiguous piled walls, secant piled walls, and king post walls.
Ground anchors are used to stabilize slopes and excavations. They are typically installed by drilling a hole into the ground and then inserting a steel anchor.
Soil nails are used to stabilize slopes and excavations. They are typically installed by drilling a hole into the ground and then inserting a steel nail.
Rock bolts and netting are used to stabilize slopes and excavations. They are typically installed by drilling a hole into the rock and then inserting a steel bolt.
We offer a variety of ground improvement services to improve the ground conditions. This includes vibro stone columns, rigid inclusions, and track bed stabilization.
Vibro stone columns are used to improve the ground conditions by creating columns of compacted stone. This helps to increase the soil's bearing capacity.
Rigid inclusions are used to improve the ground conditions by creating columns of rigid material. This helps to increase the soil's bearing capacity.
Track bed stabilization is a method of improving the ground conditions beneath railway tracks. This helps to reduce track settlement and improve ride quality.
We design and construct a variety of retaining structures to support slopes and excavations. This includes contiguous piled walls, secant piled walls, and king post walls.
Contiguous piled walls are a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of piles into the ground. The piles are then connected together to form a continuous wall.
Secant piled walls are a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of piles into the ground. The piles are then connected together to form a continuous wall.
King post walls are a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of piles into the ground. The piles are then connected together to form a continuous wall.
Sheet piling is a type of retaining wall that is constructed by driving a series of interlocking steel sheets into the ground. The sheets are then connected together to form a continuous wall.
Ground anchors are used to stabilize slopes and excavations. They are typically installed by drilling a hole into the ground and then inserting a steel anchor.
Open site piling is a type of piling that is used to support foundations and structures. It is typically used in areas where there is no existing structure or excavation.
CFA piling is a type of piling that is used to support foundations and structures. It is typically used in areas where there is no existing structure or excavation.
Cased CFA piling is a type of piling that is used to support foundations and structures. It is typically used in areas where there is no existing structure or excavation.
Rotary bored piling is a type of piling that is used to support foundations and structures. It is typically used in areas where there is no existing structure or excavation.
Driven piling is a type of piling that is used to support foundations and structures. It is typically used in areas where there is no existing structure or excavation.
We provide a range of rail engineering services, including track bed stabilization, overhead line electrification (OLE), and lineside civils.
Overhead line electrification (OLE) is a system of providing electrical power to trains. It involves the installation of overhead wires and supporting structures.
Lineside civils are the civil engineering works that are carried out alongside railway lines. This includes the construction of platforms, bridges, and tunnels.
We design and construct a variety of structures, including bridges, tunnels, and retaining walls.
Track bed stabilization is a method of improving the ground conditions beneath railway tracks. This helps to reduce track settlement and improve ride quality.
