Geotechnical engineering
We provide expert geotechnical engineering solutions for all construction projects, ensuring safe, cost-effective, and sustainable results.

Geotechnical engineering for all projects
We investigate the ground conditions of the construction site and carry out even the most demanding soil, rock, and foundation structures. Our services also include comprehensive environmental geotechnical engineering solutions.
Our expertise in geotechnical engineering covers both building and infrastructure projects , from residential buildings to industrial facilities, and from local roads to major highways. Thanks to our reliable engineering work, your project moves forward efficiently, keeping both cost and schedule under control.
Our geotechnical engineers specialise in the engineering of foundations and substructures in even the most challenging soil and bedrock conditions. We prepare all necessary statements and reports, engineering documents for tendering and implementation, as well as drawings or models to support maintenance documentation and life cycle services. In addition to detailed plans and BIM models, we also provide cost calculation and schedule planning.
"We ensure an enduring foundation for even the most demanding projects."
Circular economy solutions for earthworks
We support you in increasing the recycling rate in soil and foundation construction while meeting your project's environmental responsibility and circular economy goals. Our circular economy specialists assess the potential for reusing recovered earth in your construction project and help you optimise the use of earthworks materials cost-effectively.
We take care of all necessary permits and notifications to the authorities on your behalf and provide project-specific work specifications and recycling solutions. Our approach enables carbon savings for your project, which also translate into cost savings.
Comprehensive environmental geotechnical services
Our environmental geotechnical experts ensure that the site is safe for its intended future use conducting thorough investigations and remediation measures. We assess soil quality and groundwater contamination based on the site's historical land use.
We also handle all required permits and provide customised remediation and risk management plans tailored to your project’s needs.
