Today, many capital projects cost more than they should: not because of poor design, but because the ground isn’t fully understood early enough.

Across data centres, energy facilities, and major infrastructure in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond, teams are expected to make early design and budget decisions with limited subsurface information. To manage risk, these projects default to conservative designs and large contingencies.

But what if you could understand subsurface conditions earlier and make design and build decisions with greater confidence?

Join Fugro’s experts for GroundIQ® Explained: How early ground insights reduces risk and uncertainty in projects, our webinar introducing a new approach to site investigation.

This webinar covers

• The risks of making decisions with incomplete ground insight: How making early design and budget decisions without comprehensive ground intel can lead to conservative designs, inflated contingencies, and late surprises.
• The limits of boreholes and CPTs: Why relying only on point-based investigations leaves critical gaps in understanding as well as how those gaps drive uncertainty, cost, and risk.
• The role of geophysics in site investigation: How non-invasive surveys provide continuous subsurface insight, revealing variability and features that point-based drilling alone can miss.
• The GroundIQ® approach: Why starting site investigation programs with geophysics helps focus geotechnical investigation where it truly adds value, saving time, effort, and unnecessary scope.
• Integrated 3D ground models: How combining geophysical and geotechnical data into a single 3D model gives clearer understanding of ground conditions compared to traditional1D/2D approaches.
• More predictable project delivery: How earlier, more complete ground intelligence supports better project decisions, fewer delays, and lower environmental impact without compromising confidence.
