Geotechnical Engineering

Ground conditions and soil behaviour can have major implications on development and construction and any work in the ground involves risks and uncertainty, technically, financially, and in terms of health and safety.

Construction delays, claims and cost overruns are often the result of unforeseen ground conditions, insufficient investigation or poor interpretation.

MLM Environmental offers a complete geotechnical consultancy and design service - from feasibility through to supervision of construction. We believe that an early understanding of ground conditions can lead to economies in design and construction and prevent costly project overruns.
