As an integral part of our service, we provide an understanding of the engineering behaviour and therefore potential risks posed by soil and rock beneath the project site. This allows the designer to precisely quantify and cost the foundation design.

At Alpha Geo-Engineering Ltd, we are continuously looking at ways to improve our methods of geotechnical and environmental data capture, data management and reporting, through the use of commercial software systems and in-house developed software macros, and thus allowing us to provide our clients with data at any stage of the project.

We work very closely with the client’s representative in ascertaining the site characteristics and once the site works have been done, the client’s representative will commission suitable geotechnical testing. We then use our vast experience and advanced professional software to analyse and report all the necessary information for the final design or if required produce final designs. Alternatively, we can carry out testing and factual reporting for clients who want just that.

Below is a list of the geotechnical services offered by Alpha:

• Geotechnical Site Appraisals
• Foundation designs including bearing capacity derivation.
• Settlement and Consolidation Analyses.
• Concrete Mix Design
• Soakaway Filtration Design
• Soil/Rock slope stability assessment and remediation
• Retaining Structures Design
• Embankment design (including for Highways)
• Groundwater movement and seepage including the use of FLOWNET
• Earthworks Consultancy
• Design, implementation & supervision of earthworks
• Design, implementation & supervision of ground improvements
• Basement Design

Depending on the nature and complexity of a project, there is a wide range of geotechnical services available and the list above is not exhaustive. We welcome discussion with our clients to establish their precise site specific requirements in case they are not among those listed above.
