Geotechnical Solutions

Geotechnical solutions help to ensure the stability, durability, and safety of power and energy infrastructure, including power plants, wind farms, solar farms, and transmission lines.

How Can Geotechnical Engineering Help Prevent Failures and Ensure the Long-term Durability of Power Infrastructure?

• Site investigation and geotechnical assessments: Site investigation and geotechnical assessments are essential for identifying and evaluating the geological, geotechnical, and hydrological conditions of a site.
• Foundation design: Foundation design is critical for the stability and durability of power and energy infrastructure. Geotechnical engineers use site investigation data to design foundations that can withstand the loads imposed by the infrastructure and the surrounding soil conditions.
• Slope stability analysis: Slope stability analysis is used to assess the stability of natural slopes and engineered slopes that support power and energy infrastructure. Geotechnical engineers use analytical and numerical methods to analyze the stability of slopes and to design slope stabilization measures, such as retaining walls and soil nails.
• Ground improvement: Ground improvement techniques are used to enhance the properties of the soil and improve the stability of power and energy infrastructure. Techniques such as soil stabilization, deep soil mixing, and grouting can be used to improve soil strength, reduce settlement, and mitigate liquefaction.
• Geosynthetics: Geosynthetics are synthetic materials that are used to reinforce soil and provide additional support to power and energy infrastructure.
