Geotechnical work has mainly been associated with dam projects and has included
tunnels, excavations, slopes, foundations and roads.
Tunnels are shown on a separate page.
Slope stability problems have included both soil and rock slopes up to 100 m
high and the design and nomination of support where necessary.
Projects have included:
-
Site investigations for large scale projects worldwide.
-
Inspections of soil slope failures in Trinidad roads.
-
Investigations into large scale soil slope failures in Ecquador following
earthquakes.
-
Development of Quantitative Risk Assessment Methods for slopes affected by
leakage from service reservoirs in Hong Kong.
-
Analysis of risk and development of mitigation measures for potential landslide
in Italy.
-
Slope stability problems in UK.
-
Foundation design for structures.
-
Investigations into dispersive problems in Thailand.
-
Design of temporary slopes in excavations 40+ m deep in lacrustine silt for
foundatios of a 165 m high arch dam in Iran.
-
Inspections of slopes and recommendations on any stability measures necessary
worldwide.
-
Design of offshore foundations
