This may include the installation of high quality geotechnical and environmental instrumentation for monitoring civil engineering and infrastructure works, to include ground gas and water quality assessments.
They have a particular expertise in the trenchless construction and for assessing the consequential soil; structure interaction and for gaining regulatory authority approval for such works and have developed their own industry approved software (GEODASY) for geotechnical data processing and its assessment to simplify and improve the production of report ready exploratory hole records sheets and other data charts.
