Read MoreGeotechnical investigations provide essential information about the soil and subsurface conditions at the construction site. This information is necessary for designing the appropriate foundations for structures. Different types of soil and rock have varying load-bearing capacities and settlement characteristics, and understanding these properties is vital to ensure the stability and safety of the building. Geotechnical […]
Read MoreGeotechnical engineers play a critical role in supporting risk management for home development projects. Prior to embarking on such endeavours, it is essential to seek the expertise of consulting geotechnical engineers, as there are a multitude of considerations that must be taken into account to ascertain any potential land-related issues and necessary precautions for safe […]
Read MoreAcid Sulfate Soils (ASS) are characterised by high concentrations of sulfuric acid resulting from the oxidation of sulfur compounds present in the ground. Typically, these soils are found in low-lying coastal areas where there is a build-up of organic matter, and the water depths are shallow. The oxidation of sulfur compounds occurs when the soil […]
Read MoreAs a geotechnical consultant, the principal obligations will entail delivering risk management and other geotechnical services to clients. Prior to the commencement of construction, geotechnical engineers are tasked with attending to several critical aspects. Among the essential elements that warrant mention are: Site investigations The site investigation process is conducted in accordance with the location […]
Read MoreGeotechnical testing serves as a critical means to assess the properties of soil and rock, thereby determining their capacity to support structures and foundations. The advancements in technology have led to a diverse array of testing methods available to geotechnical engineers when analysing proposed land.
