Forensic Engineers - Soil Testing & Geotechnical Expertise
Real-World Soil Testing experience is essential for Structural Engineer Subsidence Investigations.
Forensic Engineers has decades of that experience including;
- soil test drilling
- soil lab testing
- soil descriptions
- site classifications
- footing and slab designs; strip, pad and edge beam footings, conventional and waffle pod slabs
- deep footing piering; conventional concrete piers, push-piles, small diameter driven timber piles and steel screw piles
- Foundation Underpinning; conventional concrete, polyurethane resin, timber piles and steel screw piers.
And our regional knowledge of regional ground conditions is second-to-none, including areas with highly plastic clays soils, poorly compacted land fill, alluvial deposits, compressible soils, or organic and acid-sulphate soils.
Our hands-on geotechnical experience is extensive. That’s why Forensic Engineers are the best choice for Structural Engineer Reports for subsidence and house foundation problems.
