Industrial
Industrial Sector – Geotechnical Capability
Industrial and logistics developments require large, level platforms, heavy-duty pavement construction and reliable foundations. These sites frequently involve challenging ground conditions, tight programmes and significant earthworks volumes.
North Geotechnics provides the geotechnical expertise needed to de-risk development and maximise useable land.
Site Development and Earthworks Optimisation
North Geotechnics support developers by providing platform optimisation to minimise cut/fill and maximise developable area. We complete earthworks designs including ground improvement, formation preparation and reuse assessments to maximise reuse of site-won materials. We can help to maximise development areas with detailed design of retaining solutions and slope stability assessments.
Shallow and Deep Foundations
Industrial facilities place substantial loads on the ground, often with tight settlement criteria.
We deliver foundation design, bearing capacity and settlement analysis. Where needed we can complete ground improvement design such as rigid inclusions. We can assess areas of poor ground, and provide advice on management of the materials, processing and reuse.
Working Platform Design
Industrial construction involves heavy plant and cranes.
North Geotechnics provides working platform design for piling rigs, mobile cranes and specialist equipment. We also provide specifications for platform materials, inspection and verification.
