Services
Bearing Pile Design
We design diverse piling systems including Auger bored, CFA, and driven piles to current standards. Our analysis covers axial, tension and horizontal loads using advanced geotechnical software. This ensures optimal load capacity and settlement predictions for various ground conditions.
Retaining Wall Design
Specialist design for secant, contiguous and diaphragm walls incorporating full construction sequence analysis. We ensure structural integrity for both temporary and permanent conditions while meeting Eurocode standards for embedded retaining structures.
Working Platforms
Our team reviews and designs working platforms for tracked plant equipment to industry standards. Early client engagement enables development of safe, efficient engineered platforms that accommodate specific site conditions and construction requirements.
Pile Testing
We design and implement load testing regimes, monitor testing processes, and conduct back-analysis of results. Our service includes reviewing as-built data like concrete tests and integrity assessments to validate design assumptions.
Site Advice
Our engineers provide independent site appraisals to determine investigation needs and substructure requirements. This proactive approach identifies potential risks and engineering options to mitigate issues before construction commencement.
