Geotechnical engineering is the art and science of designing structures in the ground including design using soil as a construction material. As a world leader in its field, Arup offers the full spectrum of geotechnical consulting services.
Geotechnical engineering is an essential element required in the design and construction of:
- foundations for buildings, roads and railways
- retaining walls, basements and tunnels
- slopes, embankments and cuttings.
Unforeseen ground conditions are a source of risk in terms of potential financial loss, damage to property and loss of life. Through consultation from an early stage in a project, we can understand the site conditions and advise our clients how to get the best value out of the ground.
Our success is based on our innovative approach, supported by the knowledge and experience of our staff, and the ability to provide integrated, appropriate solutions to meet our clients' needs.
