Ground Engineering Specialist
29 years · UK, Greece & New Zealand
With over 29 years of experience, Christos has consistently delivered geotechnical engineering solutions that comply with regulatory standards and best practice — addressing complex hazards including shrink/swell clays, mining risk, natural cavities, compressible soils, running sands, high groundwater tables and slope instability across bridges, tunnels, embankments, cut slopes and buildings.
His expertise spans ground investigation and assessment, ground movement and subsidence evaluations, slope stability analysis and remediation, audit services, and the supervision and monitoring of specialist geotechnical works — across private and public sector clients in the UK, Greece and New Zealand.
Christos believes every site is unique, requiring a bespoke approach that integrates the site-specific ground model, precise design requirements and the client's development objectives.
