Engineering Geology and Geotech

Geotechnical Engineering is the science that explains the mechanics of soil and rock and its applications to the development of humankind. It includes, without being limited to, the analysis, design, and construction of foundations, slopes, retaining structures, embankments, roadways, tunnels, levees, wharves, landfills and other systems that aremade of or are supported by soil or rock.

As societal and economic systems develop and become more complex, the quest for a more sustainable and resilient built environment is increasingly pertinent. To that end, Geotechnical Engineers, being able to affect every project from its very early stages, play a critical role.

IGS provides support and advice on various geotechnical projects that contribute to infrastructure development.
