Reclamation Geotechnics
Two senior geotechnical engineers. 40 years of combined experience — all of it on site, embedded with contractor teams. Specialist day-rate support for the dredging and reclamation industry.
The problem
Every dredging or reclamation project is a bet on the ground. New jurisdictions bring unfamiliar soils, different seismic regimes, remote coastlines and no local expertise. A single geotechnical misjudgment means delays, rework and budget overruns.
Multidisciplinary consultancies send a rotation of juniors and charge senior rates. We send the two people who have done the work — full time, on site, for the life of the project.
Who we are
Two senior geotechnical engineers with 40 years of combined specialist experience — all of it on site, embedded with contractor teams in the dredging and reclamation industry.
We have worked full time for over a decade each on major international projects: soft soils, seismic design, carbonate and pumice sands, rock works, settlement and compaction, laboratory establishment, CPT and seismic CPT. We work the way you do — as part of the team that has to deliver.
Where we're deep
Design and management of settlement on soft marine clays — the defining problem of reclamation.
Liquefaction assessment and seismic design of reclaimed land and port infrastructure.
Unusual soils that break standard correlations: crushable, compressible, deceptively strong.
Rock placement, dredgeability assessment and marine earthworks.
Vibrocompaction, dynamic compaction, stone columns, PVD and surcharge — selection, design, QA/QC.
Establishment and management of on-site laboratories for remote and marine projects.
Execution, interpretation and QA/QC of CPT and seismic CPT campaigns.
Rowe cell, triaxial, cyclic and crushability testing for design and verification.
