Geotechnical and Tunnelling
Geotechnical engineering, one of the rare engineering sciences often compared to an art form, requires deep domain knowledge and expertise to achieve the desired results. Edgilis consultants have proven capabilities and numerous project successes, performing such works as: ground structure analysis, soil and rock mechanics, foundations and earth structures, ground improvement techniques, tunnel and deep excavations engineering, earthquake engineering, permanent earth-retaining structures, slope stabilisation, ground improvement, and foundations design.
Generally, the services we offer provide impact at various stages of the engineering process:
• Geotechnical investigations
• Concept and detailed engineering design
• Tender bidding support for all Geotechnical activities
• Documentation and standards implementation
The Opportunity
As already burgeoning cities seek to further optimise the use of aboveground space in their build-up of transport and waste/water transport facilities, infrastructure has only one way left to go - underground. Our Geotechnical specialists have the expertise to open this underground frontier for rapid transit systems, underpasses, water & sewage piping networks, and substructures for major buildings. The increasing population on our planet means a decreasing surface area and reduced space for all global citizens. And contrary to popular belief, the future is not upwards, it’s downwards.
