Earth movements such as settlements, heaves, sinkholes, slope failures, and landslides pose a unique risk to structures and surrounding infrastructure. Our geotechnical experts have combined expertise in geology, geomorphology, architecture, and civil engineering with a deep understanding of how earth movements impact critical infrastructure, including how to prepare for the unpredictable and make a timely recovery.
We provide comprehensive investigations using analytical tools, numerical modeling, and extensive field and laboratory testing, to assess the risk to your property, evaluate the extent of damage, and recommend appropriate repair measures. Our services include building settlement assessments, damage mitigation strategies, slope stability analysis, and more.
With a focus on client satisfaction and a commitment to excellence, we offer fact-based geotechnical investigations to address the challenges posed by earth movements.
