SGI

The Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI) is an expert agency that works for a safe, efficient and sustainable development and sustainable use of land and natural resources... SGI was established by the Government in 1944 to "strengthen geotechnical research and to support state agencies with construction operations". Geotechnical engineering is the study of earth and rock mechanics and its application in planning and construction, including technical solutions and construction methods. All construction work requires ground and foundation work, which constitutes a significant part of the total construction cost. Geotechnical-related weaknesses in construction work can have very serious consequences. Consequently, there is a great need of geotechnical knowledge within civil engineering and planning... In this future, SGI will be an expert agency and an international centre of excellence. We are a driving force in collaboration to guarantee society is built on solid ground.
