What we offer you
Managing unexpected site conditions - such as soft ground, coastal or clayey soils and foundation installations - represents some of the most significant cost and schedule risks to asset development.
Having an improved understanding and management of these risks by characterising site features, interpreting and understanding these features, and then developing designs which appreciate the risk of any particular site, supports successful project completion.
Through a truly integrated and streamlined approach, we identify project requirements, undertake complex geotechnical studies and provide comprehensive specialist design and advice to clients throughout the project lifecycle.
Our consultants bring a unique blend of technical expertise and extensive practical and on-site experience. Through our global network, we provide holistic, sustainable solutions to design and construction challenges that expedite development timeframes, while providing quality, value and safe working environments.
Through implementation we have proven that innovation is often driven by an understanding of the whole solution - working across disciplines to understand, challenge and redefine the critical design cases. Our design works hand-in-hand with adjacent engineering disciplines to continuously pursue optimal and innovative design.
