Dr Chandra Abbireddy

Dr Chandra Abbireddy is a geotechnical engineer with over 20 years of experience.  He has provided specialist geotechnical support for a wide variety of projects in London, elsewhere in the UK and abroad, at various project stages ranging from pre-planning (feasibility) to end of construction.

He has good experience in ground investigations, foundations, basements, tunnelling, deep excavations, ground movement impact assessments, hydrogeological impact assessments, instrumentation and monitoring, stability assessments, forensic geotechnical investigations, soil characterization, machine foundations, and micro-mechanics of granular materials.
