Complex and/or Large Structures with deep foundation configurations require detailed site-specific geotechnical investigations; the nature of which is dependant on the sites’ location and the prescribed development.

Typical structures include:

  • Multi-Storey Buildings
  • Power Stations
  • Bridges
  • Production Plants for Mines
  • Agricultural Silos
  • Shopping Centre’s
  • Buildings with multiple basement levels
  • Solar Farm Developments

Typical Investigative Procedures:

Extensive multi-disciplinary investigations

Desktop Studies

Geophysical Surveys

In-situ Testing Methods; DMT, DPSH, SPT, CPTu, Packer Tests, Pull-out Tests

Field Tests including; geological mapping, surface feature identification joint line surveys, percolation testing

Rotary Core Drilling and associated geotechnical core logging and rock testing

Trial Pitting- Heavy Mechanical Excavator or Large Diameter Auger Holes and associated undisturbed and disturbed soil testing.
