Geotechnical advice

Seismic liquifacationStone column seismic liquefaction mitigation in Trinidad Since the establishment of a geotechnical capability within Mott, Hay & Anderson in the early 1970’s, there has been a consistent requirement for high quality, practical geotechnical advice to project designers and site managers across the full range of Mott MacDonald’s services. This has been maintained by a core of specialist, experienced staff including managers of our foundations and geotechnics team. Where appropriate additional support has been obtained from academic consultants in prime universities.

This powerful resource has been of considerable benefit in being able to respond to either external or internal requests for assistance at short notice. Particularly successful examples where the availability of this capability has facilitated progress include:

  • use of monitoring and the observational method on Amsterdam’s North-South Metro
  • authorship of state-of-the-art reports for the Construction Industry Research and Information Association
  • interpretation of ground movements around the trial NATM tunnel at Heathrow
  • the role of geotechnical advisors on decennial insurance cover for various structural and industrial projects around the world
  • support to site supervision teams for various major highway schemes
  • research and development for all major transportation infrastructure owners
