Geotechnics
What is the most efficient excavation pit reinforcement and foundation for your construction project? What is the best way to stabilise a slippery slope? To answer these questions, we assess the geological properties of the building site and the groundwater conditions. We have extensive experience with large infrastructure projects. Our team designs tunnels and tunnel portals, support and shoring structures, and stabilisation measures for slippery slopes.
Holistic concepts for demanding geotechnical tasks
Our team combines all disciplines of earthworks, foundation engineering and special civil engineering. When encountering difficult building ground, we use finite element calculations to realistically simulate the interaction between the ground and the structure in order to ensure structural safety. Working closely with the construction company, we select the most suitable geotechnical method for each individual project.
