Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Engineering: Understanding the Earth Beneath Our Feet

Expert Solutions for Ground Investigation, Foundation Design, and Environmental Remediation

Safe, sustainable development starts with the ground beneath it. At Egniol, our Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental engineers provide the insight and support needed to manage risk, ensure structural integrity, and protect both people and the planet.

What We Do

We deliver integrated ground and environmental services for infrastructure and development projects across the UK.

Our team works with developers, engineers, and environmental managers to inform decision-making, meet compliance requirements, and keep projects moving safely and sustainably.

Our proficiency extends to:

Phase 1 and 2 Ground Investigations

Site Characterisation, Soil Testing, Groundwater Monitoring, and Gas Monitoring

We understand that what lies beneath is critical to reducing risk. We carry out site characterisation, soil testing and groundwater monitoring to identify geotechnical and environmental hazards. Using advanced sampling and modelling, we create detailed site profiles that inform safe, sustainable foundation and remediation strategies.

Foundation Design

Shallow Foundations, Deep Foundations, and Ground Improvement

We provide recommendations for foundation design and can professionally assist with a range of foundation solutions in all site conditions. We work with structural loads and regulatory requirements. Our solutions span shallow and deep foundations, including spread footings, piles and raft foundations, along with ground improvement techniques such as soil stabilisation and compaction, guaranteeing long-term performance.

Slope Stability

Stability Assessments, Retaining Walls, and Erosion Control

Our slope stability assessments prevent landslides and erosion risks to infrastructure and public safety. We conduct thorough site investigations using advanced modelling techniques to assess slope geometry, soil properties, and groundwater conditions, and design retaining walls, erosion control measures, and other slope stabilisation structures.

Environmental Remediation

Contaminant Assessment, Remediation Strategies, and Validation

Our environmental remediation services provide expert solutions for assessing and remediating contaminated sites. Our team designs and implements remediation strategies to remove or neutralise contaminants, ensuring that sites are safe for future use. We also provide validation services to verify that remediation has been successful and that sites meet regulatory standards.
