Specialists you Trust

Our team of geologists, engineers and scientists deliver specialist design and advice through innovation, collaboration and technical excellence.

Geo-Design are an established specialist consultancy working across a range of sectors. We have a central focus on engineering geological and hydrogeological characterisation and rock engineering design for both surface and underground structures.

Our approach is to establish a fundamental appreciation of the governing physical conditions to provide understanding and risk mitigation to projects, as well as representative inputs to analyses, using state-of-the-art modelling software. As a result, our designs are carefully engineered, practical solutions that complement the natural environment.

We provide specialist engineering advice and a full range of design related activities to design consultants, contractors, government authorities and private clients.

Geo-Design work across the full project life cycle.

We provide feasibility studies for early-stage rock engineering projects by assessing geological conditions, site constraints, and technical requirements. Our team conducts preliminary investigations, risk analyses, and design evaluations to support decision-making. We deliver practical insights that help clients determine project viability and plan next steps with confidence.

Feasibility Studies

We deliver rock engineering analysis and design by integrating geological data, site conditions, and performance requirements. Our services include ground stability assessments, numerical modelling for ground behaviour and structural analysis, the design of temporary and permanent ground support systems and all associated deliverables for a complete design. We provide robust, tailored solutions to ensure safe and efficient project development.

Design and Analysis

We offer value engineering to rock engineering projects by identifying effective design alternatives that account for geological risk. Our approach optimises construction methods, materials, and support systems while maintaining safety and performance and considering the ground behaviour. We help clients achieve maximum value by balancing technical efficiency with a clear understanding of subsurface uncertainty.

Value Engineering

We review third-party rock engineering designs for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with project requirements. Our assessments consider geological risk, design assumptions, and compliance with relevant standards. This ensures robust, reliable outcomes and enhances confidence in critical design decisions.

Independent Design Checks

We support dispute resolution, incident investigations, and strategic decision-making in rock engineering through detailed specialist review panels, Dispute Panels, Technical Adjudication and as Expert Witnesses. Our work includes assessing design and construction performance, geological conditions, ground risk and uncertainty, Geotechnical Baseline Reports, contract evaluation and construction practices to provide clear, objective insights for legal teams, insurers, and project stakeholders.
