Our engineers work at the early stages of projects to analyse soil characteristics, propose solutions consistent with geotechnical constraints and ensure the safety and durability of structures.
Geotechnical engineering
Soil analysis: a crucial design factor
Geotechnical analysis is vital to ensure the stability of construction projects.
Pirnay Engineering can define testing programmes, interpret the results and design foundations or retaining structures.
Comprehensive site-specific studies
Our services cover:
- Defining and supervising soil testing programmes
- Geomechanical analysis of the results
- Sizing foundations (deep, shallow, special)
- Designing retaining structures, bank or quay walls and shoring systems
- Assessing settlement or landslide risks
- Optimising backfilling and earthworks
Contributing our expertise to the overall design
Our geotechnical team works closely with the structural, roadworks and sanitation specialists to ensure technical consistency across the project.
This means that soil constraints can be anticipated and realistic, cost-effective solutions proposed.
