Geotechnical Engineering and Engineering Geology underpins any development of a new site or assessment of a potential problem site. This begins with investigation of the soil, rock and groundwater properties. This is undertaken to determine and understand how they interact and affect construction. It is also vital to determine how to reduce the risk to people, property and the environment both on an existing structure, ongoing construction or new build which may be, or potentially will, suffer from unexpected behaviour in the ground.

The information is essential in deciding whether or not the chosen site is suitable for development or needs some form of remediation.
