Our geologists ensure that each project is carried out in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, respecting the environment and with consideration for the environmental impact of construction.

The geological services provided by Rockplan include, among other things, environmental studies, geological feasibility studies and risk assessments.

With the help of rock quality maps, point clouds and photogrammetric 3D models, geologists determine rock mechanical parameters, which provide input data for rock mechanics and tunneling design.

Additionally, we conduct soil and bedrock research studies, logging of core samples and monitoring of the impacts of construction on the surrounding environment, for example, groundwater.

Effective structural design promotes the common goals of the project and produces the desired results. Structural design involves development of alternative solutions for the project and draft design phase that assist in decision-making, as well as safe and economical plans for implementation planning.

Our experienced structural designers help to successfully implement even the most demanding projects.

Flexible cooperation of the structural design team with other parties in the project ensures great service where the optimal solution is achieved with the appropriate design tools.

The planning process always includes the identification of the project’s special features and management of the project’s risks. Structural designers prepare reports and instructions related to the selection of structures for the implementation of the project. Structural plans are refined to suit rock conditions that often only become apparent during construction.

Through rock mechanics and tunneling design, we help our customers use their property more efficiently; for example, by locating operations underground. In addition to civil defense shelters, a variety of other activities can be located underground, such as public transportation, parking, and sports. In Helsinki, there are several underground pedestrian tunnels that connect the different functions of the city.

Good design ensures that underground facilities can be constructed safely and economically while maintaining above-ground functions. As its name implies, Rockplan is a design agency specializing in rock engineering design and we have been involved in many of Finland’s largest underground projects.

Rock mechanics models rock structure alternatives and analyzes rock behavior using three-dimensional models. Based on these models, detailed excavation, reinforcement and sealing plans are developed so that the work can be carried out efficiently and safely.

We provide all rock engineering design services for all phases of the project, from rock mechanical analyses and simulations to geological surveys as well as excavation, reinforcement and grouting design.

Rockplan provides architecturally related services with solid experience and strong professionalism. We complete construction projects accurately, flexibly and with the right attitude! Our architecture team works closely with other members of the design team to create high-quality, functional and modern solutions for all situations.

Our architectural design services cover all phases of a project, from project development to design during construction. Architectural design takes into account functional issues, qualitative and economic choices, and environmental and urban solutions.

Rockplan serves as the principal design office for rock engineering projects and is responsible for the projects’ principal design services in accordance with the Building Act. Everyone who undertakes a construction project must nominate a project-specific responsible person, the principal designer, who is approved by the authority. Often the principal designer of construction projects is an architect.

As the principal design office for rock engineering projects, Rockplan manages the challenges of even the most demanding endeavors, which include expertise in the overall design of rock constructions, knowledge of rock conditions, project development and project management.

Rockplan offers professionally experienced and well-trained principal designers for rock engineering projects. Under their leadership, the preparation of project plans leads to safe and functionally optimal solutions.

Although the goals and sizes of design projects vary greatly from project to project, the success of each one is equally important to us. We offer customer-oriented and high-quality architectural and principal design with solid experience for all projects.
