Unlocking the Power of Geotechnical Engineering for Safer Buildings.

When you construct a building, you need to consider more than just the structure itself. The surrounding (and subterranean) landscape plays a major role in the safety and design of any building. That’s why RGH Consultants offers geotechical engineering services for clients planning new construction.

Our staff consists of professionals in a range of engineering and geological fields with over 25 years in the construction industry. We’re dedicated to helping clients understand and execute the safest and most efficient building designs. Not sure if you need these services? Here’s a brief introduction to the crucial role geotechnical engineering plays in real estate development.

What Is Geotechnical Engineering?

Geotechnical engineering is the study of soil and rock mechanics, and the application of that knowledge to human developments. In layman’s terms, we look at how the soil interacts and influences the structures built on it. Geotechnical engineering is closely related to civil engineering (which is instrumental in the construction of bridges, roadways, and water flow through the ground), and the two are often used in tandem.​


Why Is It Important?

Rock and soil supports the structures built on top of them — at least, they’re supposed to. These elements have their own physics that must be considered, since they behave differently depending on their composition.
​
If you don’t understand how the landscape behaves during natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes, you risk harm to structures and their inhabitants. However, geotechnical engineering allows you to understand these dynamics and make design decisions to prevent negative outcomes.
