Expert Advice with Design Problems

Ground investigation reports cannot be accurate across 100% of the site and geology can change from one position to another. Importantly, all our Engineers are skilled and experienced at analysing these reports and the results of full scale tests. Moreover, we can identify possible causes of poor foundation performance quickly and make recommendations for remedial work overcoming the problem at an early stage. 

Expert Advice with Construction Problems

Not all piling projects go strictly to plan and when problems arise this can often lead to a dispute between a contractor and their Client. Both parties have good reason to believe that they are in the right. However, the truth usually falls between the two views. Moreover, considering the information and arriving at the most likely reasons for the dispute usually requires an independant expert. C Hobbs Associates have experience in many types of piling disputes and details of some of these are briefly discussed on our case history page.
