Research

At Substruck, we believe that advancing geotechnical engineering requires more than just delivering projects — it demands a commitment to research, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. Our specialist expertise in areas such as micropiles and dynamic probing has positioned us among the few contractors in Ireland and Europe who have undertaken complex field trials, exhumations, and simulations that provide insights far beyond standard practice.

We have collaborated with leading universities and research institutions to carry out investigations into pile behaviour, soil–structure interaction, and ground testing methodologies. These partnerships not only strengthen our own technical capabilities but also contribute meaningful data to the wider geotechnical community.

We welcome opportunities to engage with academics, researchers, and students who share our passion for ground engineering. Whether through collaborative research projects, postgraduate studies, or field-based trials, we are committed to supporting the next generation of geotechnical engineers and contributing to the growth of applied knowledge in our industry.

If you’re interested in working with us — whether as a student, researcher, or industry partner — we would be delighted to hear from you.
