Geotechnical Engineering

Today's civil engineering projects are often highly complex and must meet increasingly rigid governmental, environmental, and building code requirements. Virtually every structure regardless of size requires some type of geotechnical engineering service to evaluate subsurface conditions that are unique to that particular project site.

The Geotechnical Engineer determines the characteristics and condition of the subsurface soils, utilizing field exploration and soil borings which provide samples for laboratory testing and analysis, he then  interprets the laboratory analysis and data to recommend soil parameters which are used for design and construction purposes. We have a fully equipped soil and geotechnical laboratory staffed by trained and experienced technicians and engineers enabling us to both quickly and efficiently analyze geotechnical field samples to determine their properties. Our laboratory facilities enable us to perform all testing required under controlled conditions to evaluate standardized and specified tests of soil samples, as well as tests of any new materials. Our Geotechnical Engineers carefully review and interpret this laboratory test data to formulate their design and construction recommendations. We have excellent expertise in following:

• Soil Exploration and Sampling

• Soil Testing and Evaluation

• Soil Investigations: Foundation and Pavement Design, Retaining Walls, Earth Excavations, Tunnels and other Subsurface Structures

• Slope Stability Studies

• Feasibility Evaluations

• Consultations: Field Instrumentation for Monitoring Field Performance

• Consultations: Soil Improvement

• Plans and Specifications Review

• Soil Stabilization
