GEOTECHNICAL
ENGINEERING
Our experts develop geotechnical investigation programs that include field exploration and laboratory testing to evaluate the subsurface conditions at a wide variety of sites. Typical field investigation methods include small and large diameter borings, cone penetration testing, down-hole logging, installation of monitoring wells, and trenching for geological/seismological hazards and fault investigations.
Our comprehensive in-house laboratories are completely certified and capable of performing all tests required and specialized tests for specialty circumstances.
The data obtained from field investigation and laboratory testing is evaluated by our engineers and used to determine time and cost saving methods of construction. These methods may include reusing on-site material, innovative foundation designs and the most feasible construction techniques.
