In this podcast, Giles Tagg and Alessandro Morgan-Gianni speak with Thomas Jones of Howden to explore ‘What lies beneath? A deep dive into geotechnical claims’.
They discuss geotechnical engineering, the range of geotechnical claims and the different categories of potential losses. They also focus on the spectacular phenomena of sinkholes dealing with how they occur and what can be done to mitigate the risks.
You’ll hear real case law examples, practical steps for handling geotechnical claims, and what the future looks like in this field.
