Forensic Landslip & Slope Failure Investigation

When land movement or slope instability affects property or infrastructure, its effects can undermine foundations, compromise structural integrity and affect drainage systems. It can lead to disputes about the cause and the appropriate remedial work. We assist by providing a clear technical explanation for what happened and what to do about it. Our work typically involves assessing:  

• Original design details.
• Geotechnical conditions, including weak layers that reduce slope stability.
• Weather records and patterns.
• Soil saturation, in which wetting increases soil pressure.
• Changes to nearby sites.
• Vegetation effects.

Each slope failure is unique, so our structural engineering specialists are often supplemented by geotechnical engineering experts that provide further insight into the underlying issues.
