Integration and application of earth sciences into the engineering, design and construction process is vital to every project in the built environment.

​

When you build a piece of infrastructure it has to be connected to the ground. Geotechnical engineering is about understanding how the infrastructure interacts with the ground.

​

Geotechnical engineers deal with many types of infrastructure – tunnels, bridges, dams, buildings, roads, railways, ports and landfills – that are built on the ground. The ground nearly always has a complicated behaviour, whatever the type of soil or rock it is made of, so geotechnical engineering is very exciting and challenging – no two problems are ever the same.

​

Greywacke Geotechnics offer  a broad range of onsite geotechnical investigation, inspection, testing and consulting services to address and overcome geotechnical matters. Reliability of the information contained in geotechnical report has a strong influence on design, construction, project cost, safety and resolution of contractual disputes and hence the report must be clear, concise and accurate.

Inadequate geotechnical investigations are many a times source of costly, over designed foundations, project delays, disputes, claims, and project cost overruns.We understand this and we provide geotechnical engineering support during the full project life cycle from conception and design to supervision and advice during construction.
