The section is also supported by expertise from the broader NGI organization.

NGI is a world-renowned centre for geotechnical engineering and geosciences where research and consulting go hand-in-hand. We believe in trust, openness and sharing of our knowledge. Our societal mission is to further develop the geosciences and produce knowledge to build, live, and travel on safe ground.
