Moraco Group’s geotechnical engineering services provide the foundational knowledge essential for secure and economical construction projects. We conduct in-depth site investigations using methods like borehole drilling, cone penetration testing, and geophysical surveys to analyze soil composition, rock mechanics, groundwater levels, and seismic risks. Our specialists offer expert guidance on slope stability, earth retaining structures, foundation types (shallow, deep, or piled), and ground improvement techniques such as soil stabilization and grouting.
Integrating data from laboratory testing and numerical modeling tools like PLAXIS, we deliver reports that mitigate geohazards, optimize designs, and prevent issues like settlement or landslides. This early-stage insight is crucial for projects in varied terrains, from coastal areas to mountainous regions, ensuring compliance with standards like BS 5930. By partnering with Moraco Group, clients achieve reduced construction risks, faster project approvals, and cost savings through informed decision-making, resulting in stable, resilient structures built on solid ground.
