Expert guidance on soil, rock, and groundwater conditions, providing recommendations for foundation design, slope stability, site suitability, cut and fill/excavation, and risk mitigation.

geotechnical advice

Geotechnical advice is essential for understanding soil and ground conditions before undertaking construction projects.

At Beam our engineers assess factors like soil stability, groundwater levels, and potential hazards such as subsidence or landslides. This advice informs the design and construction of foundations, retaining walls, drainage systems, and other structural elements to ensure safety and stability, as well as recommendations for a remediation strategy when required.

Site investigations, including borehole drilling and soil testing, are arranged to gather data on soil composition and load bearing capacity. Geotechnical advice also helps mitigate risks related to construction in challenging environments, ensuring compliance with regulations and minimising costly delays or failures due to unforeseen or challenging ground conditions.
