Excavations

All temporary site excavations should be both cost effective and safe. We offer efficient solutions to deal with challenging ground conditions, inner-city construction projects where traffic circulation is an issue, and those with heightened groundwater levels. We prepare risk assessment and evaluations of all sites. For projects with difficult conditions, we ensure that appropriate supervision and controls are provided.

Solutions for every type of ground

  • Concepts and option studies
  • Structural analysis and structural monitoring
  • Designing braced excavations
  • Lowering groundwater levels
  • Underpinning, retaining walls, stabilising slope movements
  • Tender documents, detailed design, construction supervision

Focusing on the end result

Our expertise lies in the way we consider the whole process, from preparing the site to the finished construction. Whenever necessary, we will consult with architects, officials and clients, to ensure that most appropriate solution for each project is applied taking into account all the practicalities of construction. Experience has shown us the pros and cons of using side slopes, soil nailed walls, sheet pile walls, diaphragm walls and piled curtain walls. In order to guarantee structural safety, we use the most up-to-date geotechnical design methods.
