Engineering geology
Engineering geology is an applied branch of geology that assesses geological conditions and geologically-induced hazards in the planning and construction of structures. Engineering geologists carry out geological investigations and analyses both before and during interventions in the natural environment. They also play a key role in post-disaster remediation efforts, such as after floods, landslides, rockfalls, and earthquakes. By doing so, engineering geologists help reduce risks and damage, protecting lives and property from hazardous geological processes.
Based on field and laboratory investigations, engineering geologists determine the mechanical properties of natural materials, prepare engineering geological maps and geological cross-sections, and collaborate with structural engineers in the design and construction of buildings and infrastructure. The most important geological parameters for these purposes include: geological and lithological structure of the terrain, groundwater level and occurrence, mechanical condition of rocks and sediments, and surface stability.
Based on terrain assessments and knowledge of the site, as well as initial data on the planned interventions, engineering geologists define the required scope of geological–geomechanical investigations to ensure proper site characterization and long-term structural stability.
During and after construction, engineering geologists prepare stability reports based on slope and structure inspections, as well as analysis of geodetic and inclinometer measurements. They also prepare expert opinions and technical reports on the actual erosion risk of the terrain prior to planned developments.

Feedback from a construction company: “Working with your company left us with only positive impressions! The geological investigations for our project were carried out professionally and in the shortest possible time. All recommendations were clear and precise, which allowed us to avoid unnecessary costs during the construction phase. Special thanks for the detailed reports and your attentive approach to our requirements!”

We required a geological report for the design of a residential house. The Geoinženiring team responded promptly, carried out the drilling and investigations smoothly, and without complications. Communication with the geologist was clear, professional, and timely. We are very satisfied with their approach.

I commissioned a geological survey for a house construction site and was very satisfied! The experts explained all the results in detail and provided clear recommendations regarding foundation selection. I was impressed by their high level of professionalism and friendly attitude. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable geological services!
