Foundation Reinforcement Design
We plan and implement measures to strengthen existing building foundations. This includes installing additional reinforcements such as bored piles, steel bolts, rock and soil anchors, or reinforced concrete structures. Additionally, it involves considering geotechnical solutions, such as jet grouting or similar methods.
Groundwater Management
Groundwater management involves the planning of groundwater pumping systems, drainage infrastructure, infiltration fields, and measures to regulate water flow. These measures aim to ensure the safety of existing and planned building foundations and to control the effects of groundwater. Additionally, implementation of these measures is crucial to ensure the safe removal of groundwater and prevent environmental damage. This planning also includes strategies for keeping the excavation pit dry during construction.
Soil Strengthening
Ground reinforcement is the process of implementing measures to stabilize or strengthen the soil in construction projects or infrastructure development. This includes various methods such as soil compaction, chemical stabilization, and the use of specialized solutions tailored to each specific case. The goal is to ensure that the soil can withstand the required loads and movements. Additionally, environmental factors and potential impacts on the surrounding nature are taken into account.
Rock Engineering
- Rock excavation, support and grouting design of underground spaces and open excavations
- Blasting consultancy and environmental assessments
- Supervision of rock construction works
- Condition assessments of underground spaces and rock slopes
- Renovation design of underground spaces and rock slopes
- Rock mechanical simulations
- Engineering geological investigations
We design tunnels, underground spaces and open rock excavations safely and efficiently as a turnkey basis. Underground construction is an excellent choice for smart and sustainable land use, minimizing landscape impact while freeing up surface space for purposes such as nature. Finland’s rocky terrain and densely built urban environments often require rock excavations, the design of which is a long-standing specialty of Pohjatekniikka with decades of experience. Our blasting consultancy professionals ensure that rock construction works are carried out in a controlled manner and that the working environment remains safe for both employees and the surrounding area.
Excavation Design and Excavation Support Plans
The planning and implementation of earthworks and foundation construction safely and efficiently. This design includes excavation, the design of support structures such as Larssen sheet piles, RD piles, and others, safety measures for existing and planned building foundations, as well as water management. The goal is to ensure that excavations do not collapse and that the work environment remains safe for workers and the environment.
