INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Our involvement in major foundation engineering projects throughout the world has given us the sound experience and expertise to be able to evaluate all relevant factors, and the capability to predict foundation performance. We employ a full range of techniques from traditional empirical approaches to methods based on the latest research and development. As a leading international foundation company, we look to be the complete answer throughout every stage of your soil and foundation engineering project. Start benefitting from our involvement and expertise in geotechnical engineering.
For any project, the most opportune time to make the biggest positive impact on project cost and the schedule is early in the conceptual phase. Listening and exploring options with our CUSTOMERS, helping identify critical issues for optimising overall project economics at concept stage is where we add most value
EVALUATE PROJECT REQUIREMENTS AND FEASIBILITY
GTL take their professional obligation to provide the best solution for each specific project. It is therefore important to understand that GTL will not push a particular pile type as it is essential to systematically consider various foundation types and to select the optimum alternative based on thesuperstructure requirements, the subsurface conditions, and foundation cost.
Foundation types may include shallow foundations consisting of spread footing or mat foundations with or without ground improvement; or deep foundations consisting of driven piles, drilled shafts, or micropiles.
In many occasions the helical is not the correct pile type in which case GTL do not promote its use. However, as a solutions provider we provide viable alternatives.
The inclusion of our LITEFnd range, the TerraPin within GTL’s portfolio was established due to this professional stance.
