Geotechnical Services

Geotechnical Site Investigations - Onshore

To manage project risks, especially for those which are performed in difficult or challenging areas, Fugro has a wealth of specialist resources. A combination of professional capabilities and specialised equipment means that we can readily support projects in areas of seismic activity, or where site access is difficult. We frequently work in climatic extremes, areas of environmental sensitivity or urban or industrial complexity and in challenging conditions (remote, soft, marshy, over-water, hazardous). Whether your workscope includes geologic assessments, site exploration, marine surveys or managing geophysical applications, we provide sound solutions.

Geotechnical Site Investigations - Nearshore

For nearshore projects, our marine plant and equipment enables Fugro to offer a range of drilling, testing and installation work in a safe and efficient manner. Capable of operating from high water level to water depths of around 40 metres, our jack-up platforms can be mobilised to almost any coastal location.

Geotechnical Site Investigations - Offshore

As the largest global supplier of marine geotechnical site investigation services, Fugro conducts tailored investigations in all offshore regions of the world. From shallow continental environments to the newer remote ultra-deepwater plays, we deploy our dedicated drillships and robotic drilling equipment to provide you with seabed soil investigations in water depths down to 3,000 metres.

Laboratory Testing of Soil and Rocks

Our sophisticated testing programmes are crucial to projects with great sensitivity to soil behaviour - high-rise buildings, bridges, dams, power plants, mines, levees, offshore platforms and tunnels, for example. Our accredited soils laboratories around the world use state-of-the-art equipment to perform testing to local and internationally accepted standards.

Geotechnical Engineering Analysis and Foundation Design

A wide range of engineering services means that we can respond professionally to your geotechnical engineering requirements, both onshore and nearshore. Using advanced exploration tools, field and laboratory testing and analytical/computer methods we identify, evaluate and resolve geotechnical design challenges. We specialise in challenging projects and some of our most complicated assignments have included the integration of geological, geophysical, hydrogeological and geotechnical data to predict site performance.

Geological and Geophysical Surveys

Fugro enables you to manage your project risks by providing you with state-of-the-art data acquisition, consulting services, geologic hazards risk assessment and mitigation. In regions of the world with geotechnical, environmental and climatic complexities we deliver a professional service by combining our in-house geologic and geophysical surveying capabilities with our experienced professionals.

Water Services

The need for clean water, flood control, and healthy aquatic environments places increasing demands on the world’s water systems. Fugro offers a comprehensive approach to water resources management with a professional team that includes hydro-geologists, soil scientists and geophysicists, as well as water quality and regulatory specialists. Our hands-on experience includes hydro-geologic investigations; basin safe-yield investigations; aquifer storage and recovery projects; water quality evaluations; desalination project feasibility studies; groundwater basin management studies; and individual well design and well field development investigations.

Construction Materials Engineering and Testing

Fugro maintains industry-recognised certifications and practices for our laboratories and staff to sample, test, observe and verify construction materials and methods. Our services are guided by project specifications and co-ordinated with contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. Exacting standards in data acquisition, quality management and safety procedures ensure that you can rely on the highest levels of professional and technical competence.

Nondestructive Testing

Some of the most demanding applications of NDT (nondestructive testing) are found in nuclear energy, power generation, petrochemicals, mining, construction and the oil and gas industries. To meet the stringent requirements of these applications, Fugro has developed a range of professional services that use a complete suite of equipment, operated by highly qualified technical staff.
