SGI is an expert governmental agency responsible for geotechnical issues. We strive for safe and efficient construction, as well as the sustainable use of land and natural resources.
An increasing number of Swedish municipalities are being affected by climate-related extreme events such as floods, droughts and storms. But what do the people living in these areas think about it?
A methodology for analysing and visualising cascading natural hazards – natural hazards that occur in an interconnected chain – has been developed by SGI. The methodology, presented in Natural Hazards, can be used to improve preparedness and risk management.
At the 3rd International Workshop on Landslides in Sensitive Clay (IWLSC 2025), SGI will present a paper about the ongoing work to reduce landslide risks along the Göta River.
For hundreds of years, roads and railways have successfully been built on peatland. A new research project can now explain why embankments onpeat provides such good stability , as well as how its strength should be investigated. With a newly developed in situ method for determining strength, certain reinforcement works may be avoided, providing environmental and economical benefits.
