Geotechnical Investigation: Why and How?
Geotechnical Investigation (GI) is seldom considered important in civil engineering projects by the stakeholders, structural consultants, or architects, primarily because of their ignorance of the subject. The common practice is to save a tiny fraction of the project
Building Sustainable Foundations for Infrastructure Projects
Foundation construction is one of the leading industries contributing to infrastructure’s carbon footprint. The amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) released into the atmosphere due to geotechnical construction activity is an average of 15 - 23%
