Geotechnical Engineering
Understand the ground. Inform the design.
Subsurface conditions shape foundation decisions, earthworks and site risk. Start with a clear understanding of the questions your project needs answered.
Starting the conversation
Define the right scope.
- Site investigation scope and subsurface information
- Foundation and earthworks considerations
- Groundwater conditions and geotechnical constraints
Questions, answered
Before we begin.
What information is useful for an initial inquiry?
A short project brief, location, intended use, current stage and the decision you need help making are a useful starting point.
How is the scope established?
The initial discussion identifies the relevant discipline and information needs. Availability, scope, deliverables and timing should be agreed before an engagement begins.
Can I share existing reports or drawings?
Mention the documents in your inquiry. Agree an appropriate transfer method with the team before sharing confidential files.
