We offer a comprehensive suite of geotechnical engineering services tailored to the stringent requirements of nuclear energy infrastructure. With a strong emphasis on safety, precision, and long-term performance, our expertise supports all phases of nuclear project development—from site assessment to construction and operational monitoring.
Our services include detailed evaluation of ground conditions and dynamic soil properties to inform safe and resilient design. We conduct advanced analyses of ground movements affecting rafts and retaining walls under both static and seismic loading, incorporating sophisticated soil-structure interaction modelling. Our capabilities extend to the modelling of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) soil behaviour, essential for understanding ground response under thermal and mechanical stresses.
We also provide technical specifications for grouting works often required as part of decommissioning, ensuring quality and compliance with design standards. Our construction monitoring plans support quality assurance during grout production and placement, while our on-site support ensures adherence to safety and performance criteria throughout execution.
Additionally, we offer staff training and advice on monitoring to maintain high standards of execution and regulatory compliance. Our integrated approach ensures that geotechnical risks are effectively managed, contributing to the safe, efficient, and sustainable delivery of nuclear energy projects.
