We have a wide range of knowledgeable experts with extensive experience in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, and structural engineering.
Our experience has helped clients better understand technical issues around a variety of disputes, and provided insight that leads to informed decision making in relation to complex problems.
Civil engineering involves designing, constructing, and maintaining infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings, ensuring they are safe, efficient, and sustainable. Diales experts have recently given opinion on issues including below ground drainage, buried services surveys, earthworks, construction management, rail infrastructure, and highway surfacing.
Geotechnical engineering focuses on the behaviour of earth materials and their interaction with structures, assessing soil and rock properties to design foundations, slopes, and retaining structures for safe and sustainable construction. Our experts have opined on problems with tunnelling, landslips, foundation subsidence, liquefaction, and ground improvement.
Structural engineering is the discipline dedicated to designing and analysing the load-bearing components of structures, ensuring they are safe, resilient, and efficient. Structural engineers create designs for buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure to withstand various forces and environmental conditions. Recent issues opined upon by our experts include defects with cladding, light rail, bridges, concrete frames, modular buildings, steelwork, concrete, timber and masonry.
