Geotechnical engineering and engineering geology is a complex but essential part of any successful project. This ranges from ground investigations and geological assessments, to infrastructure design works for highways, rail, and tunnels. Proactive assessment and design is critical to minimising costs, protecting assets, and reducing whole life costs by establishing and managing risks associated with the ground.
GHD's geotechnical, geological, hydrogeological, and geomorphological experts provide advice, design, and engineering support built from experience on a range of projects. Our team map, quantify, and model ground conditions and features to inform our clients' projects and provide detailed designs for any required works. This includes assessments such as rock mass, slope, contaminated land, and landfill site analysis.
We develop remedial works following these assessments including designing soil and rock engineering systems and rock face and soil slope remediation. Whether our clients need a solution for tunnels or retaining walls, we have the experience and skills to meet their needs. We also design shallow and deep foundations, underground spaces, pavements, landfill sites, and earthworks programmes.
We help inform our clients' asset management investment plans through detailed inspections. These include groundwater and seepage studies, seismic assessments, and soil and rock stand up time investigations. By building a clear picture of asset condition and impacts, our clients are able to proactively invest in remedial works to protect services for their customers.
Clients repeatedly draw on GHD's expertise to help them avoid the hidden costs of subsurface challenges. We continue to set the standard with award-winning geotechnical and geological engineering, assessment, and design that reduces risk for our clients.
