Geotechnical Engineering
To complement our piled foundations, we also offer a full range of geotechnical engineering solutions:| Soil Nailing | For the anchoring of support structures, slope stabilisation and the transfer of external tensile forces to the ground such as guide wires for towers/masts. |
| Rock Anchors | Stabilisation of eccentrically loaded foundations, stabilisation of slopes and rocks and stabilisation against uplift. |
| Grouting | For when you need to perform repairs for structures such as bridge supports
and embankments. |
| Thermal Boreholes | Geothermal drilling allows heat exchanged from underground to heating systems
for buildings. |
To compliment our other activities we also offer a full range of engineered geotechnical systems.
Often it is a combination of various geotechnical and foundation systems that will provide the most elegant and efficient solution to a given situation.
The systems that we offer are:
- Soil Nailing / Micro Piles
- Rock Anchors
- Grouting
- Sprayed Concrete
- Structural Repairs
- Thermal Boreholes
Soil Nails are used for:
- The anchoring of support structures for excavations, such as sheet piling or trench boxes.
- Slop stabilisation.
- Transfer of external tensil forces to the ground, such as guide wires for towers / masts.
- Stabilisation of eccentrically loaded foundations.
Rock Anchors are used for:
- Anchorage for retaining wallls.
- Stabilisation of eccentrically loaded foundations.
- Stabilisation of slopes and rock / wall cuts.
- Systematic rock stabilisation and local supports for underground excavations.
- Stabilisation against uplift, i.e., structures in high water tables.
From elegant simple solutions to complex problems we can provide the appropriate Geotechnical Engineering solution.
