Services
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineering services provide critical subsurface data for infrastructure projects. We conduct comprehensive site investigations using advanced drilling techniques and laboratory testing to assess soil properties. This information enables accurate foundation design and risk mitigation for highways, bridges, and commercial developments.
Dynamic Pile Testing
We perform dynamic pile testing to evaluate deep foundation capacity and integrity. Using specialized equipment, we measure pile response during installation to ensure structural reliability. This service is essential for bridge foundations and large commercial buildings requiring load-bearing verification.
Seismic Hazard Analysis
Our seismic hazard assessments identify liquefaction risks and ground stability issues. We analyze subsurface conditions to develop mitigation strategies for earthquake-prone areas. This service supports safe infrastructure development in seismically active regions like Glacier National Park.
Construction Testing
We provide on-site materials testing during construction projects to ensure compliance with engineering specifications. Our services include concrete, asphalt, and soil compaction testing for highways, bridges, and building foundations. This real-time quality assurance prevents costly rework.
Drilling Services
Our in-house drill rig fleet enables efficient subsurface exploration for various projects. We perform borings for highway alignments, bridge foundations, and building sites using truck-mounted and barge-based equipment. This capability ensures timely data collection for accurate engineering design.
