Services
At Verkís, we employ experienced engineers and technologists with specialist education in the field of geotechnology and petrology.
Many projects require specialised services and consultation in the field of geotechnology. Verkís’ experts have years of experience in that field and have been involved in numerous large-scale projects, for example Kárahnjúkavirkjun and Sundahöfn.
Request a consultationVerkís can provide petrological and geotechnical consultation and services in all areas of civil engineering. This includes power plants, road construction, ports, airports, construction of buildings, bridge structures, sports fields and tunnels. We welcome challenges, no matter what the project is.
Verkís carries out both research and preparatory work for construction, as well as design and monitoring during the construction period and over the lifetime of structures. Geotechnical and petrological design can include, among other things, the assessment of the need for research, the interpretation of research results, the design of ground structures, and the foundation design of structures, including piles, steel panel design, assessment of the risk of liquefaction, assessment of the risk of subsidence, as well as the design of loading, the design of retaining walls in the soil, and the design of rock reinforcements.
The goal for each project is always to find the best and most cost-effective solution so that the execution of the project will be as successful as possible.
We take on a variety of geotechnical projects and have worked on many large-scale projects in that field.

Verkís supports clients in understanding and managing ground conditions through geotechnical investigations, analysis, and design. Our specialists develop safe, efficient, and sustainable geotechnical solutions for buildings, infrastructure, and earthworks, combining technical expertise, site-specific knowledge, and practical construction experience to ensure stability, resilience, and long-term performance throughout the project lifecycle.
We carry out geotechnical investigations and ground assessments to support the safe and efficient design of buildings and infrastructure. Our specialists analyse soil, rock, and groundwater conditions to identify risks, inform design decisions, and provide reliable recommendations for construction and development projects.
We provide geotechnical design services for buildings, infrastructure, and earthworks, developing safe, practical, and cost-effective solutions tailored to site conditions. Our specialists assess ground behaviour, foundation requirements, and geotechnical risks to support stable and resilient project outcomes.
We prepare comprehensive geotechnical reports that provide clear insights into ground conditions, geotechnical risks, and design recommendations. Our reports support informed decision-making throughout planning, design, and construction, helping to ensure safe and efficient project delivery.
We review design documents to verify technical quality, consistency, and compliance with project requirements and applicable standards. Our specialists help identify potential risks, improve constructability, and support efficient project delivery through independent technical assessments.
We provide project supervision services to help ensure that construction and implementation activities are carried out in accordance with design documents, quality requirements, schedules, and applicable standards. Our specialists monitor progress, support coordination between stakeholders, and help identify and resolve issues throughout project delivery.
