Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical engineering plays a crucial role in the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure projects, providing essential insights into the behavior of soil, rock, and groundwater. At Cowburn, we offer a comprehensive range of geotechnical engineering services to support the successful execution of projects across various sectors.

Site Investigation and Geotechnical Site Characterization

Conduct comprehensive site investigations to assess soil and rock properties, groundwater conditions, and geologic hazards. Perform geotechnical site characterization studies using advanced techniques such as drilling, sampling, testing, and geophysical surveys.

Slope Stability and Landslide Risk Assessment

Evaluate slope stability and assess landslide risk using numerical modeling, slope stability analyses, and field monitoring techniques. Develop slope stabilization measures, including soil reinforcement, retaining structures, and drainage systems, to mitigate risks and ensure safety.

Geotechnical Instrumentation and Monitoring

Install and monitor geotechnical instrumentation, including piezometers, inclinometers, settlement gauges, and strain gauges, to monitor ground movements, pore pressures, and deformation behavior. Provide real-time data monitoring and analysis to assess geotechnical performance, detect potential issues, and inform decision-making throughout the project lifecycle
