Ground engineering

Proper ground engineering is a prerequisite for improving the performance of designed structures – including roads, railways, bridges, and tunnels – and can significantly reduce life-cycle costs by making use of the latest technology and methods.

Ramboll’s ground engineering comprises a comprehensive range of investigations and design services related to the subsurface. We have extensive experience from working in more than 70 countries, and we are able to handle any soil condition anywhere in the world providing the technology and methods needed.

Our services cover all project phases from site investigations, laboratory and in situ testing to advanced numerical modelling, project implementation, inspection, and supervision.

Geotechnics

Ramboll’s services cover every aspect of geotechnics and foundation engineering, including:

Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link will connect the German island Fehmarn with the Danish island Lolland. The services provided by Ramboll (in a joint venture with Arup) cover geotechnical investigations, geophysical surveys and investigations, large scale testing, and geodetic services.

Environmentally sustainable solutions

We also work on research and development projects that focus on environmentally sustainable solutions. These include:

  • Geotechnical, environmental and geo-radar tests in situ and in the laboratory
  • Stabilisation testing of soft materials (peat, mud, silt, clay, sediment)
  • Recipe development and R&D into new binder materials from industrial by-products
  • Renovating and improving road structures using recycled industrial by-products
  • Landfill construction and groundwater protection (built by using recycled industrial
    by-products)
  • References from over 250 R&D projects on deep, mass and layer stabilisation.
Helsinki Music Centre, Finland. Ramboll did the foundation design, plans for contaminated soils management, and supervision of structural plans for the concert venue

Our geotechnical design services combine technical skills, environmental considerations, and economy. We have extensive experience in the geotechnical aspects of remediation and new construction, both in national and in international projects.

In our planning, we make use of new materials and techniques. Our thorough research into geotechnical materials has secured us a pioneering role in geotechnical engineering.

Geophysical services

Geophysics deals with the physical properties of the earth – and the atmosphere. Ramboll’s geophysics services apply scientific analysis and measures to buildings, groundwater protection, and marine constructions.

Furthermore, we have extensive experience in the use of geophysical methods in geotechnical engineering as a main part of the pre-investigations for foundations, tunnelling, and highways.

Using our large selection of instruments, we can carry out virtually any kind of geophysical investigation. In particular, we focus on:

  • Seismic investigations – of any kind
  • Borehole logging
  • Marine investigations
  • Electric and electromagnetic investigations
  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
  • Geodesy and geographical coordinate systems.

We use state-of-the-art equipment and perform advanced data analyses and processing to meet the highest standards. Our services are customized to each customer’s needs and are supported by our in-house team of geologists, hydrogeologists, geophysicists, and engineers.

Rock engineering services

Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link will connect the German island Fehmarn with the Danish island Lolland. The services provided by Ramboll (in a joint venture with Arup) cover geotechnical investigations, geophysical surveys and investigations, large scale testing, and geodetic services.

Engineering geologists interpret observed and mapped geological data. They create conceptual models that illustrate the engineering-geological classification of each rock unit. Civil engineers then use this data to make crucial building decisions.

Our engineering geologists have years of experience with this process. They understand the geological and non-geological factors that can influence rock slope stability. So even though the factors may vary considerably in a given area, you can be sure of an accurate results.

Our rock engineering services include:

  • The definition of potential problems
  • The quantification of input parameters
  • Calculation and evaluation
  • Risk assessment
  • Design and analysis.
