Expertise
Before you even think about asset construction, it’s important to understand your site and its conditions. That way, you’ll be sure you can actually build there. We help you do just that. With our geophysical and site appraisal services, you’ll get a clear overview of all the features and conditions at your project site. Above and below the surface. An overview crucial to engineering design and challenge-solving.

Case study
Fugro GPR locates deficient pavement along Pennsylvania Highway
Fugro used ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology to investigate underlying pavement structures on Pennsylvania’s busy Interstate 81 highway and identify weak areas. This non-destructive method was clean, accurate and efficient, with no disruption to traffic flows.
Case study
Potential quakes, potential power plant risks: seismic reflection surveys
When a newly recognised underwater fault was discovered near a California power plant, Fugro was flown in. Our task: discover what kind of quakes and other motions it could generate. Because those could pose a real risk to the power plant.
Case study
Lakebed soil analysis for 100,000 floating solar panels
How do you determine the best location for the anchor rods of 100,000 floating solar panels? In a sand excavation lake? While protecting its flora and fauna? A challenge we were happy to take on.
Case study
Stopping the leak: how we helped bolster Burkina Faso’s most important dam
117,200 people in Burkina Faso rely on the Comoé Dam. When erosive leaks threatened it, we investigated and created a thorough risk map to help bolster the dam.
