Since the 1980s, Mott MacDonald’s engineers have helped pioneer a technique called the observational method (OM) to optimise the delivery of major projects, often ones involving deep excavation in difficult ground conditions.

These have included London Docklands Light Railway and Limehouse Link, the Heathrow Express rail tunnel, Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 and the Elizabeth Line Moorgate shaft.

They showed that the OM could be used to achieve major cost and time savings. On projects the size of HS2, with many kilometres of retained excavations and earthworks, the potential efficiency gains are large.

In this video, Hock Liong Liew tells us more about the observational method, pushing geotechnical boundaries to save cost and carbon.
