Deep Excavation Specialists

The increasing scale of engineering development is driven by scarcity of land and the need for more infrastructure capacity. This scale may be reflected in the size of the project or in the difficulty of the conditions in which it is constructed. Increasing scale is increasing the demand for deep excavations for a range of projects from high rise buildings to road construction.

Design and construction of deep excavations requires sophisticated application of the engineering art to provide a safe and economical solution. It requires understanding of geological challenges combined with use of one of the many design methods available today. Just as important is the ability to work with constructors to achieve the best solution.

T&T employ a team of experienced geotechnical engineers specialising in complex soil structure interaction as part of the largest geotechnical consultancy in New Zealand. This provides in depth support for engineering geology and other specialist fields related to deep excavations.

Our expertise has been gained throughout New Zealand, South East Asia and the Pacific, working on:

• Urban basement construction
• Rail tunnels
• Road tunnels
• Hydro electric power schemes
• Road and rail projects
• Port and harbour developments
• Water supply
  
• Landslip remediation
  
• Cliff development.

We work for clients in arrangements ranging from feasibility design to design build packages for constructors.

Our team can provide invaluable advice ranging from proven empirical solutions to the latest dynamic numerical methods to best suit the problem you are faced with. We provide services ranging from specialist analysis to detailed design of your entire solution. This service is focused on providing the most cost effective and appropriate solution for your structure.
