Geotechnical design is undertaken to complement wider studies and support operational planning. AG looks to work in a collaborative manner wherever possible, in order to ensure clients needs are front and foremost. The importance of working with other related disciplines at the early phase of studies is recognised, as is ensuring that the results of the geotechnical assessment can be implemented, and readily adopted by the study team.
