Geotechnical

Rock & Slope Stabilisation is critical to the safety of infrastructure, commercial, industrial and residential sites and is achieved through the design and specialist application of geotechnical solutions. Slope stabilisation techniques are used to retain and reinforce soil in natural slopes, unstable ground or man-made excavations. Vertical Access uses its extensive experience in conjunction with geotechnical designers to apply these methods to provide slope stabilisation solutions for a wide variety of clients and projects in difficult and restricted access locations. Rock face stabilisation involves a wide range of techniques from the scaling of loose materials and controlled rock removal to rock anchors, dentitions, dowels and both passive and active steel meshing.
