GEOTESTA experienced geotechnical engineers specialise in conventional and innovative foundation and ground improvement solutions. Advanced technology in ground engineering design is won by maintaining contacts with leading academics and contractors. This provides us with an up-to-date understanding of the latest construction techniques.

We work closely with market leaders in the civil and structural engineering sector and through these well established associations have a sound appreciation of key design interface issues at foundation level. Our team can provide important technical advice at the project inception stage and work closely with project owners to identify ground risks early on, enabling investigations to be focussed on determining feasible foundation solutions.

This knowledge, coupled with our extensive track record and geotechnical database, enables us to develop an engineering solutions that save construction time and cost.

GEOTESTA provides a wide range of foundation and ground improvement designs including:

  • Site investigations, including specialist field testing, Cone Penetrometer (CPT), Dilatometer, and Pressuremeter.
  • Desk study and preliminary assessments of foundation and ground improvement
  • Assessment of appropriate shallow and deep foundation options
  • Evaluation of ground treatment solutions, including dynamic compaction, rammed aggregate piers, compaction grouting, jet grouting and vertical drains
  • Preparation of technical specifications tailored to site conditions
  • Site monitoring and ground control
  • Landslip Risk Assessment as per AGS Guidelines
  • Deep Foundation and Pile Design
  • Micro tunnelling and pipe jacking
  • Retaining Wall Design
  • Soil nailing and ground anchors
  • Ground Improvement Design
  • Basement and Retaining Structures
  • Dams and Earth Structures
The design and analysis are carried out using computer and Finite Element Modelling using commercial geotechnical engineering and rock mechanics softwares.
