Ground Truth Engineering Ltd

Independent, objective and clear advice for subsurface design, construction and dispute resolution. Independent - Ground Truth’s principal consultants are experienced, semi-retired geotechnical engineers whose career ambitions have been fulfilled. We are in business because we have experience to share and believe that high quality and thoughtful geotechnical engineering reduces the cost and risk of underground construction. We also believe that all parties in underground projects can benefit from the review and advice of experienced professionals who are removed from the business pressures of growth, market share, and returns to leveraged owners. Objective - Our client base is divided among project owners, specialist consultants, multi-disciplinary design firms, contractors, insurers and law firms. We are not dependent on any one client or industry sector for our business. Indeed, we seek to be respected for fact-based judgement that is grounded in scientific and engineering principles by all parties involved in underground projects. Clear - Ground Truth understands that you do not need us to tell you that underground conditions are variable, that construction outcomes can be uncertain, and that subsurface data can create ambiguity. Ground Truth provides you with clarity in the face of ambiguity through discipline, experience and communication. Disciplined review of facts and rigorous application of engineering principles reduces ambiguity. Analyses tempered with experience further reduce uncertainty. Communicating our thinking in ways appropriate to your specific context can help you to make clearer and more effective decisions in the face of underground ambiguity and outcome uncertainty.
