Geotechnical Engineering

Discipline 02

The Ground Tells the Truest Story.

Before any superstructure goes up, we listen carefully to the ground beneath it. Site investigations done properly save months of risk and millions in over-engineering.

Our geotechnical engineers combine in-situ testing, laboratory analysis and numerical modelling to deliver foundation designs that are safe, economical and constructable.

Standards BS 5930, Eurocode 7, ASTM and local Mines & Geology Department protocols.
Capabilities

What We Deliver.

Site Investigation

Boreholes, trial pits, SPT and CPT — tailored to site complexity and project class.

Laboratory Testing

Atterberg limits, CBR, triaxial, consolidation and chemistry testing in accredited labs.

Foundation Design

Pads, rafts, piles, caissons — selected based on loads, settlements and ground risk.

Slope Stability

Limit-equilibrium and FE analysis of slopes, cuttings and embankments.

Retaining Structures

Sheet piles, secant walls, gabions and reinforced earth solutions.

Groundwater Management

Dewatering schemes, permeability testing and seepage analysis.

Why It Matters

A Building is Only as Strong as Its Soil Allows.

From swelling black-cotton to soft alluvial deposits and Nairobi's variable phonolite — Kenyan ground is anything but uniform. Our team has cut its teeth on it.

  • Right-sized investigations — no over-spec, no skipped tests
  • Independent third-party reviews on complex sites
  • Pile load testing and instrumentation oversight
  • Liaison with NCA, NEMA and local authorities
