As well as human health and environmental impacts, site contamination can have major economic, legal and planning implications for landowners and the wider community. A pragmatic, tailored approach is the key to reaching an outcome that minimises impact.

Dams engineering requires understanding and control of the enormous forces and potential energy of water. From foundation and seismic assessments through to geotechnical, hydrological, hydraulic, mechanical and structural design, projects demand in-depth skills and a coordinated, client-focused approach.

Effectively investigating, assessing, evaluating and monitoring the suitability, risks and properties of site ground conditions for any project, are an essential part of successful delivery. GHD creates cost-effective ways of meeting our clients' needs, by working to balance economy and reliability according to the particular requirements of each project.

Groundwater can be a lifesaving resource in times of drought and a cost-effective way to store seasonal water supplies. It can be a critical resource but equally a significant hindrance to mining and construction projects and can be a pathway for contaminants or indispensable source of water for the environment.

Award-winning risk analysis and management to be competitive and seize new opportunities.  We provide insights into the critical controls required to minimise risk and drive value into your organisation.

To meet the needs of our ever-growing populations and urbanisations, underground spaces are becoming increasingly important. Tunnels are key to providing vital infrastructure that is efficient, future-proofed, and sensitive to the environment.
