We have the expertise and experience to develop efficient, buildable, geotechnical solutions.
At Balfour Beatty Ground Engineering, we believe that the success of any construction project is defined before work begins on site. Lead by our Professional Services team, the design phase is where the biggest decisions are made, shaping the development of buildable, compliant, efficient and sustainable geotechnical solutions.
From early career professionals to nationally recognised leaders, our team combines technical knowledge with a practical understanding of construction to deliver designs that are buildable and effective. We’re proud to have UK recognised geotechnical experts – including Fellows of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Chartered Engineers and experienced specialists – who are passionate about delivering robust geotechnical solutions.
Our experienced technical team provides temporary works, permanent works and mechanical design solutions across a wide range of foundation systems. We specialise in load-bearing piles, retaining structures and ground improvement, utilising bespoke tooling and equipment – designed in-house and manufactured at our plant yard to enhance innovation, efficiency and buildability.
We understand that the key to developing the right solution is identifying geotechnical risks early and designing to mitigate them effectively. With access to over 20 years of site investigation and test pile data, we offer deep insights into ground conditions across the UK, providing us with the knowledge to understand and manage geotechnical risk effectively and tailor solutions that meet the unique demands of each project.
From early-stage planning through to construction delivery, we work collaboratively with customers and stakeholders to develop technically robust designs that balance programme, cost and carbon. Our approach integrates digital tools and sustainable practices to deliver outcomes that are future-ready.
As projects move into delivery, our engineers provide the technical support and construction design information needed to ensure a smooth start and sustained progress. Drawing on experience from hundreds of mobilisations, we know what it takes to keep work moving safely, efficiently and with precision.
