Engineering geological studies

Together with our associate consultancies, we provide office and field-based engineering geology that adds value to a project and reduces the risks that come from geo-uncertainty.

Desktop studies

  • Identify existing geological conditions on the site from published data

  • Develop preliminary engineering geological models

  • Identify potential geohazards and geotechnical risks, with comment and preliminary recommendations

Engineering geological mapping

  • Field mapping during a site reconnaissance to confirm the site geology and the likelihood of challenging geological conditions

  • Identify methods, scope and site constraints for intrusive investigations on the site (undertaken by others)

  • Identify potential borrow areas

Borrow fill material management

  • Identify the locations and estimate the quantities of borrow materials available on site for earthworks construction

  • Prepare or review borrow management plans to meet the project requirements

Construction supervision

  • Site supervision during earthworks and foundation construction

  • Recommend suitable design and construction alternatives when geo-variations are found during construction

  • Prepare as-built reports and monitoring and maintenance plans as required
