What is Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering focuses on soil and rock behaviour, as well as slope stability and risk factors such as landslides, flooding, rockfalls, and more. In essence, the goal of geotechnical engineering is to ensure that your development site is as safe as possible and that the materials used in construction guarantee optimal performance for years to come. Engineers perform geotechnical investigations that allow them to gather the necessary data and make tailored recommendations for your specific applications. When it comes to guaranteeing safety and efficiency, there’s no better to supercharge your development than partnering with a geotechnical engineering firm.
Maximize Your Savings
We all know that construction, whether you’re building new or refreshing the old, one of your biggest concerns is staying on budget. The work done by geotechnical consultants results in detailed reports that clearly identify the cost of developing the land and all materials used in construction. Geotechnical consultants are also able to provide recommendations that help you avoid both under and over excavating, allowing you to expedite construction and save thousands in the process.
