An appreciation of innovative foundation solutions and ground treatment options is critical to the successful outcome for today’s industrial developments. Subsurface conditions are becoming more challenging and the need for specialist geotechnical expertise is critical to ensure appropriate solutions are applied.
Our experienced geotechnical engineers specialise in innovative, foundation/ground treatment solutions. Key contacts are maintained with New Zealand’s leading contractors providing an up to date understanding of the latest construction techniques available for industrial developments. This knowledge, coupled with our extensive geotechnical data base, enables us to provide concepts at an early stage of the development on a cost effective basis.
We have a strong reputation for economic, practical, well engineered solutions for industrial developments and our expertise covers:
Desk study and preliminary assessments of foundation and ground treatment solutions
Site investigations, including specialist field and laboratory testing
Assessment of appropriate shallow and deep foundation options
Evaluation of ground treatment solutions (e.g. dynamic compaction, vibro‑probe)
Specialist analyses of heavily loaded floor slabs
Preparation of tailored specifications
Experienced construction supervision in specialist techniques.
We work closely with market leaders in the structural engineering sector and through these well established associations have a sound appreciation of the design interface issues at foundation level.
Our team can provide important advice at the project inception stage and work closely with the project owners to identify ground risks at an early stage, enabling investigations to be focussed on determining feasible foundation solutions. An ongoing role through the investigation, design and construction phases will ensure the maximum benefits of T&T’s specialist expertise are provided for an industrial building development project.
