Geotechnical Consultancy Services
Geotechnical engineering is a division of engineering geology that focuses primarily on substructures and obtaining information about the soils and rocks beneath – their strengths, characteristics and engineering behaviour – to provide detailed information to the civil or structural engineer.

Many have fallen with problems such as settlement and cracking years later on construction projects that have not had an adequate site specific geotechnical investigation carried out prior to construction.
