Services
What services does CGT provide?
Geotechnical engineering: site investigation, foundation and pile design and review, slope stability, retaining structures and numerical modelling (PLAXIS)
Structural engineering: design, design review and structural assessment
Environmental management: PER, EIA, CEMP, environmental audits and monitoring
Groundwater and hydrology: pumping tests, dewatering assessments and wadi hydrology studies
Forensic engineering: investigation of cracks, settlement and failures
Road Safety Audits: Stage 1 to Stage 4 audits
Do you prepare PER, EIA and CEMP documents?
Yes. We prepare Preliminary Environmental Reviews (PER), Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and project-specific Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMP) in line with EAD requirements, and support clients through the environmental permit process.
Can you carry out independent quarterly environmental audits?
Yes. As an EAD-registered Environmental Consultancy Office, we carry out independent external audits of construction projects and prepare audit reports for submission to EAD through the project proponent.
Do you provide environmental monitoring?
Yes. We monitor dust (PM10), noise, dewatering discharge quality and groundwater, with samples analyzed in accredited laboratories as required by the environmental permit. we can also hookup ambient air monitoring system needed for longer and continuous monitoring period.
Do you carry out dewatering and settlement assessments?
Yes. We assess radius of influence, ground settlement and discharge for dewatering of excavations and pile caps, and recommend monitoring of nearby structures and utilities.
Can you assess and monitor construction vibration?
Yes. We predict vibration from piling, vibro compaction and other works, carry out pre-condition and post-condition surveys of neighbouring structures, and monitor vibration against BS 5228-2, BS 7385-2 or DIN 4150-3.
Do you install geotechnical instrumentation?
Yes. We plan and supervise instrumentation and monitoring programmes, including piezometers, settlement monitoring, inclinometers, and vibration monitoring, with manual or remote (cloud-based/wireless) data collection using multiple channel dataloggers.
Do you carry out asbestos surveys?
Yes. Together with EAD-approved specialists, we survey buildings, surface debris and soil for asbestos before demolition or excavation, and can combine this with soil contamination testing.
