Geotechnical recommendations and design by baetin cover onshore and offshore projects with diverse applications such as soil testing, shoring, deep foundations, dams, earthworks, tunnels (New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) and TBM method), marine, artificial islands, monitoring, and soil improvement works in addition to other geotechnical applications.

baetin provides an entire spectrum of project management on geotechnical engineering projects from concept to execution. From the very first steps, and to allow for proper concept design and cost estimate, baetin helps the client decide on proper soil investigation scheme, mapping, and survey, to acquire and obtain necessary underground parameters in order to optimize the cost and reach realistic concept design. baetin manages the entire process of putting an investigation scheme with related specifications, floating tenders, analyzing soil investigation offers, and providing recommendations to the client. baetin manages the investigation then analyses the data and provides its recommendation for later integration into necessary analyses and design.

At times when a project requires a certain professional geotechnical engineering review, baetin can provide peer review service on the following: • existing concept and detailed designs to help maximize the reliability and efficiency of proposed works and help reduce the cost by ensuring the fitness of an existing design. • existing or proposed short-form and standard contracts. A professional evaluation can be performed to secure the contract conditions and terms and assure fair distribution of liabilities and reasonable commercial requirements. baetin can also provide recommendation on technical specifications forming part of the contract.

baetin provides advanced level of geotechnical design by utilizing a unique experience of professional engineers and by using advanced software of finite element and 3D modeling. The service is provided while ensuring full integration between the geotechnical and structural requirements and full coordination between different design teams. For sensitive applications, such as tunneling and deep excavation near existing important structures, baetin provides design and recommendation of required monitoring systems, management of the systems, and setting of warning and action criteria. This is performed while assuring full coordination with related structural teams and authorities.

A contract is the core and heart of any project. baetin realizes the sensitive nature of geotechnical related contracts due to underground uncertainties and unforeseen conditions. For this, baetin can help manage the preparation stage of the contracts by drafting proper terms and conditions with high attention to distribution of liabilities and sharing of responsibilities to assure and ensure smooth operation and allow for successful and timely completion of proposed works.
