Geoman

Geoman Ltd is a specialist consultancy providing advice on geotechnical issues including site investigation, developments on poor ground, retaining structure designs, reinforced soil designs, settlement prediction, slope & global stability assessment, sustainable drainage designs, and technical approval applications. We visit and advise on projects throughout the UK and Ireland with occasional overseas commissions. There are many commercial products and suppliers in the geotechnical market, making it difficult to understand the technical merits of various systems. Usually, the preferred system and supplier depend on the specific site conditions, soils, and project location. Geoman Ltd assists developers, consultants, and contractors with independent advice to assess the most beneficial system and supplier for their project. Geoman always encourages the use of site-won fill material and minimizes imported stone and concrete. Fill disposal costs are a serious issue, and reinforced earth is often the best method for achieving fill recycling. We can advise on appropriate compaction methods and reinforcement geotextiles. Where possible, we encourage soakaways and water recycling rather than extensive drainage to achieve better water attenuation and reduce flash floods. Geoman Ltd has extensive geotechnical engineering experience and works with numerous geosynthetic material suppliers, providing total design support ranging from preliminary conceptual to collateral warrantied designs with clients and projects throughout the UK.
