Expertise

Geotechnical Engineering

Our team investigates residential, commercial, industrial, heavy civil infrastructure, mining, and natural resource losses based on the sound application of science, geotechnical engineering and, most importantly, our expert engineering knowledge and judgment. We investigate all the stages of a project development potentially leading to a loss including inadequate subsurface characterization, limitations in the design approach, challenging construction processes and schedules, or contractual issues outside of natural processes and events during the service life of structures. In the more complex cases, we work in multidisciplinary teams with our in-house specialists in buildings, structures, environment, and materials to provide an unbiased, technical, and factual analysis of the incident, with a goal of helping our clients make educated decisions to achieve a timely resolution.
