Company Profile

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY


Over the past years of remarkable growth in the region, and during the sharp increase in construction works
both in the private and public sectors, FME has noticed a lack of expertise in optimizing engineering ground
solutions. The market developed an unjustifiable conservative approach in geotechnical design as an attempt
to minimize risk and safely bypass any uncertainty in ground behavior and soil-structure interaction.
Consequently, a substantial increase in cost has been added to budgets of numerous Civil Engineering
projects.
As a countermeasure to waken up value engineering, we at FME decided to familiarize the market with an
unusual and uncommon practice in tackling geotechnical engineering exercises.

Fundamentally, our practice is


based on exploiting the data
collected from our own state-of-theart
geotechnical
investigation,
combine it with engineering and
geological expertise, carry out
computational analysis, frequently
involving finite element modeling, to
come up with a robust conclusion.
We work collaboratively with our
clients to meet the objective:
Deliver Innovative & Economical
solutions.
The objectives are
achieved through the knowledge
and experience of engineers coming
from different backgrounds across
the world.
At Fugro, consultancy services and design assignments are related to foundations for buildings, infrastructure
projects, industrial complexes, marine structures and oil platforms and land reclamation, as well as
hydrological studies. Moreover, Fugro has centers of expertise for earthquake engineering and water retaining
structures.
In the Middle East, Fugro was among the first, if not the first, geotechnical specialist to lay high rise structures
up to 40 floors on shallow foundations instead of originally designed deep large diameter piles.
We grasp the geology, explore the ground, hand-craft computational models and hit our goal: Innovative &
Economical Solutions.
