Serena Che

Ms Serena Che is a Senior Geotechnical Engineer with more than 3 years of experience in industry. She is experienced in early-stage optioneering and engineering design, as well as advising clients on the geotechnical risks throughout the project life cycle.

Serena has undertaken site characterisation and geotechnical analyses to inform both onshore and offshore geotechnical design for various energy, infrastructure and building projects within the UK and internationally. She has developed particular expertise in horizontal directional drilling (HDD), with experience in providing site support, risk assessments and concept designs for HDD projects. She has also worked on a number of offshore wind projects with particular interest in the assessment of pile capacities and pile driving characteristics in various ground conditions.
