Designing foundations in variable ground conditions is complex, often requiring conservative assumptions that increase costs and risk. GS E&C has addressed this with an innovative 3D Pile and Foundation Analysis Program that leverages high-resolution geological modelling to deliver safer, smarter, and more cost-effective designs.
Using the Kriging method, subsurface data is visualised in 3D, allowing engineers to accurately interpret and communicate complex geological profiles. This model is then directly integrated with the pile layout, enabling precise calculation of pile bearing capacity, load distribution, and site-specific seismic design.
By replacing 2D assumptions with 3D simulations, GS E&C reduces design uncertainty, minimises overengineering, and improves response to real-world ground conditions. The system also generates automated reports for structural review, construction planning, and regulatory approval — enhancing speed and transparency across the project lifecycle.
Applications include urban infrastructure, high-rise buildings, and seismic zones, where foundation accuracy is critical. This tool reinforces GS E&C’s leadership in digital engineering, bringing data-driven precision to the core of infrastructure delivery — a perfect example of human-centred, future-ready innovation.
