From concept to completion, SIDCO provides comprehensive geotechnical engineering for vibrant island communities.

SUSTAINABLE ISLAND DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS

Geotechnical Investigation

Our geotechnical engineering solutions are the invisible backbone of thriving islands. We delve into the depths, analyzing soil and rock formations to design foundations that stand the test of time. From towering structures to intricate coastal projects, we build with confidence, ensuring stability and minimizing risk.

Construction Material Testing

In the dynamic landscape of construction and infrastructure development, the integrity of materials used plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety, durability, and overall success of a project. SIDCO achieves this with a strong association with MERL – Maldives Engineering Research Laboratory.

Environmental Impact Assessment

EIA isn’t just about the immediate footprint of your project. It considers the complex web of consequences, from air and water quality to wildlife habitats and community wellbeing. By analyzing potential impacts both positive and negative, EIA paints a holistic picture, paving the way for responsible and sustainable development.

Marine & Coastal Environment Assessment & Valuation

MCEAV uses cutting-edge tools and expert analysis to understand the intricate tapestry of life beneath the waves.

From bustling coral reefs teeming with fish to delicate seagrass meadows filtering pollutants, each species plays a vital role in the ecosystem’s health and the well-being of coastal communities.

Project Management Consultancy

With a commitment to excellence and a wealth of expertise, we bring a holistic approach to project management, transforming visions into tangible realities.

By placing our clients at the center of our strategies, solutions, and services, we ensure that every aspect of our work is aligned with their success.

Key Process of
GEO TECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Geological and Geotechnical Site Assessment

Conducting a comprehensive geological and geotechnical site investigation to understand the local soil and rock conditions. Identifying geological features, groundwater conditions, and potential hazards that may impact the stability of structures and infrastructure.

Climate Change Impact Assessment:

Assessing the potential impacts of climate change on the island’s geotechnical conditions, such as sea level rise, increased storm intensity, and changes in precipitation patterns. Incorporating climate resilience into geotechnical designs to ensure infrastructure can withstand future environmental changes.

Sustainable Foundation Design

Designing foundations that consider the island’s unique geological and environmental conditions. Implementing sustainable foundation solutions, such as using recycled materials or innovative foundation technologies, to minimize environmental impact.

Coastal Protection and Erosion Control

Designing coastal protection structures and erosion control measures to safeguard the island’s shoreline. Incorporating eco-friendly solutions and considering the preservation of coastal ecosystems in the design of protective measures.

Waste Management and Contamination Control

Addressing potential issues related to waste disposal and contamination in geotechnical engineering projects. Implementing sustainable practices for managing construction waste and preventing soil and groundwater contamination.

Community Engagement and Social Impact Assessment

Engaging with local communities to understand their needs, concerns, and traditional knowledge about the island’s geotechnical conditions. Conducting social impact assessments to ensure that geotechnical projects are aligned with the sustainable development goals of the community.
