Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering is the foundation of all infrastructure projects; often, a project’s risk lies in the ground. Our geotechnical engineers seek to reduce this risk, by investigating and understanding the site’s subsurface conditions, and its behaviour under different loading conditions.
Overview
Our large team of geotechnical engineers, geologists and engineering geologists have international experience in research, contracting and consulting. We can provide the full spectrum of geotechnical engineering capability, from desk study through field investigation, factual reporting, geotechnical interpretation, stability analysis, foundation assessment, design and supervision.
Our geotechnical services support and complement SLR’s civil and structural engineering, landscape architecture, water resources, environmental science, planning, and transportation services.
