Antonio Associates

Antonio Associates is a limited company formed of highly qualified and professional specialists, engineers who can provide independent advice and technical support to a wide range of clients. The company seeks to provide professional services in geotechnical engineering, engineering geology, ground investigations, rock mechanics, soil mechanics and... engineering materials. In addition, advice and support can be given locally for design, training and supervision. Our areas of expertise cover the whole spectrum of geotechnical engineering services-those which are needed on the largest of land and marine civil engineering projects. Our experience covers the full scope of: land and marine investigation, rock and soil testing, design, QC of materials and right through to construction supervision. Geotechnical projects may require the use of both soil and rock mechanics principles, use marine and land geophysics, field and laboratory testing of soils, rocks and provide quality control advice for construction materials. Of special regard are works in support of major projects. Site specific documents such as those directed at Construction Supervision are frequently produced as part of a training program or an agreed QA procedure. In the field of rock mechanics, expertise is applied to a variety of sites including rock tunnelling, large rock cuttings, blasting and rock stability, slope protection and support and lining problems. This work includes rock mass modelling (both boundary element and finite difference methods), rock-support interaction, excavation techniques and support design and TBM performance monitoring. Highway construction supervision, quality control for materials and on-site training are also areas of particular experience and expertise. Antonio Associates have worked and are familiar with ICE Conditions of Contract and FIDIC covering most situations for UK and overseas contracts. Local conditions of contract are also used. Specifications are generated in-house following UK, or other internationally ...Read More
