Arup ; ; Geotechnics Our expertise in the structure and behaviour of ground conditions helps us to find solutions for our clients in built and natural environments. Share Geotechnics Talk to Philip Morley about this service Get in touch As an acknowledged leader in geotechnics, Arup is often asked to push the essential skill and science of designing and building structures in the ground. Wherever difficult ground conditions, sensitive environments or ambitious projects present geotechnical challenges, we provide robust and advanced solutions. Our geotechnical expertise underpins Arup’s work on projects from building design to infrastructure for water, energy, mining, rail, highways and aviation. To the full range of geotechnical needs, we bring interconnected ground engineering skills, which are complemented by our expertise in hydrogeology, seismic design, geology and risk management, plus many other specialised services. Meeting complex challenges Arup supports its geotechnical experts to innovate by investing in research and rigorous ongoing training and development. We continuously take on ambitious projects to stay at the forefront of our field. For the design of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory, a major science facility 7,400ft below ground in South Dakota, USA, we tackled the demands of extreme rock depths and pressures. On building developments, our sophisticated modelling techniques help define the best approach to foundation design and prove unique projects are possible, as was the case with London hotel Claridge's basement extension. Elizabeth line Our extensive impact and settlement analysis for the Elizabeth line meant 42km of tunnels were safely built under central London despite the congested subterranean environment.
