Geotechnical Investigations

Geotechnical investigations obtain information on the physical properties of the underlying soil and rock prior to design and construction. With our wealth of local knowledge, we are able to offer up front discussion and tailor our investigations to suit the anticipated range of ground conditions and geo-hazards.
