A crack in a concrete slab is more than a surface issue—it’s a question waiting to be answered.

How deep is the crack? How severe is the damage? And what does it mean for the structure's performance?

For one client, the answer started with concrete coring. By examining the slab below the surface, we were able to document the extent of the damage and provide the data needed to make informed decisions about repairs and next steps.

Good engineering starts with understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

What does climate resilience look like underground?

In southern Sweden, a major wastewater tunnel project is moving forward to help manage growing populations, aging infrastructure, and increasingly intense rainfall. The MAXIMA system will include deep tunnels, large storage capacities, pumping infrastructure, and more than 17 kilometers of underground conveyance designed to reduce flooding and sewer overflows.

Projects like this highlight the critical role geotechnical engineering plays in creating resilient infrastructure that can serve communities for generations. With a planned 100-year service life, success depends on careful design, construction quality, and a thorough understanding of subsurface conditions.

The future of infrastructure isn't always visible—but it's often built below our feet.

In 1898, long before the internet existed, Mark Twain imagined a world where people could share information and images across great distances through a connected network.

History is full of ideas that seemed impossible—until they weren't.

At Geotechnics, innovation starts with curiosity. Whether it's a new testing method, a challenging material, or a question no one has answered yet, progress begins by exploring possibilities and putting ideas to the test.

Some concepts are ahead of their time. The data tells us which ones are ready for it.

Sometimes, testing requires a little creativity.

At Geotechnics, problem-solving and ingenuity are part of the process. Sometimes that means building custom solutions. Sometimes it means thinking outside the lab. And sometimes… it means dropping samples from heights they probably weren’t expecting.

Whatever the challenge, the goal stays the same: dependable testing and data clients can trust.

More than 25 years after asbestos was banned in the UK, it remains one of the most significant infrastructure and public health risks in the built environment.

According to the UK Health and Safety Executive, asbestos-related diseases still cause thousands of deaths each year. The challenge is that asbestos-containing materials remain present in many buildings constructed before 2000 — including schools, hospitals, commercial facilities, and aging infrastructure.

For engineers, contractors, and facility managers, the risk often emerges during routine maintenance, renovation, demolition, or retrofit work. When disturbed, asbestos fibres can become airborne and create long-term health hazards that may not appear for decades.

The issue highlights the importance of:
• Thorough site investigations and hazardous material assessments
• Accurate asbestos records and transparent reporting
• Proper containment and removal procedures
• Long-term asset management planning for aging infrastructure

As infrastructure continues to age, asbestos management remains an active engineering and safety challenge — not simply a legacy issue.

Freeze. Thaw. Repeat.
It’s one of the most persistent forces acting on rock, soil, and erosion control materials.

ASTM D5312 helps evaluate how rock performs under repeated freezing and thawing conditions — critical data for projects exposed to harsh seasonal weather and changing temperatures.

Durability testing like this helps engineers better understand long-term material performance, stability, and resilience in the field.

At Geotechnics, precision testing, experienced personnel, and dependable equipment all play a role in delivering results clients can trust.

Because when conditions change, performance matters.

A mountainside collapse in Alaska’s Tracy Arm Fjord triggered one of the tallest tsunami run-ups ever recorded — reaching nearly 481 meters after more than 64 million cubic meters of rock and debris plunged into the water near South Sawyer Glacier.

Researchers say glacier retreat played a major role in destabilizing the slope. As the glacier receded, it removed critical support from the valley wall, increasing the likelihood of catastrophic failure.

For geotechnical engineers, events like this underscore the growing importance of monitoring slope stability in glaciated environments. As climate-driven glacier retreat accelerates, hazards such as rockslides, debris flows, and landslide-generated tsunamis may become more frequent across Arctic and sub-Arctic regions.

The Alaska megatsunami is also a reminder that even remote landscapes can present serious risks to infrastructure, transportation corridors, tourism, and coastal development.

Understanding changing ground conditions today is essential to planning resilient infrastructure tomorrow.

We never met a sample we didn’t like.

From borings to lab testing, every sample tells a story about what’s happening below the surface.

And we’re always ready to dig deeper.

Testing, testing… still hits different.

A lot has changed over the years—but our commitment to accuracy, integrity, and getting it right hasn’t.

Same standards. Every sample. Every time.
