Geotechnical ground investigation and design are often needed in developments as the interface between the ground and the proposed structure or surface.
This interface is vital ensuring it is safe for years to come as well as compliant with building control or other regulating bodies.
GOWN has supplied geotechnical assessment for all kinds of structures and industries with a regular and expanding client base. At GOWN we believe there is not one way to do things and will help you understand the alternatives, pro’s and con’s of each method or solution.
Having decades of experience in geotechnical engineering GOWN can provide the solutions you need.
Desk Studies (often combined with geo environmental assessments)
Ground Investigation in accordance with BS5930 and Eurocode 7
Factual reporting and interpretive design reports
Foundation design (including standard strip footings, piles, pads, rafts and vibro-stone columns) to assist with structural engineering
Ground improvement design and specification
Retaining wall design
Slope stability assessment
Geohazard studies including coal mining assessment and rockfall analysis
Earthworks specification (in collaboration with civil engineering) including cut and fill balances assisted with our Material Management Plans
Lagoons and attenuation basins
Interfaces between elements and their dependencies such as structural ground bearing slabs and rafts
Drainage assessments for BRE 365 soakaways and drainage fields
Pavement investigation and design with the provision of California Bearing Ratios
Temporary works design including working platforms, anchoring and propping
Geotechnical works are often complicated by overlapping disciplines, such as civil engineering, structural engineering, and geo environmental engineering. With chartered engineers and scientists in all aspects of these overlapping disciplines GOWN can help achieve the project goals succinctly.
