Geotechnical Engineering

All loads and actions on structures are to be safely transmitted to the foundations for support by the ground. The need for gaining knowledge on the characteristics of the supporting ground is therefore paramount and this is gained through the exploration of subsurface conditions at a project site to determine the capacity of the soil to carry the load without collapsing or experiencing intolerable movement and recommend appropriate foundation alternatives. MultiScope routinely engages geotechnical investigations subcontractors to undertake field investigations and laboratory testing and prepare factual reports which our geotechnical engineers use to prepare a Geotechnical Engineering Report for a given project.
