Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineers conduct subsurface investigations and foundation design for commercial and residential projects. We perform test borings, pile design, and dewatering system analysis to ensure structural stability. With over 30 years of experience, we provide soil and rock evaluation services that meet strict construction specifications and regulatory requirements.
Structural Engineering
We specialize in mid-rise structural design using steel, concrete, and wood framing systems. Our engineers develop platform designs for residential structures and perform structural analysis of existing buildings. Our team has extensive experience with reinforcement detailing and construction management for both new developments and renovation projects.
Land Surveying
Our licensed surveyors provide boundary determination, topographic mapping, and construction layout services. Using GPS and conventional equipment, we deliver precise measurements for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Our team maintains multiple state certifications for boundary dispute resolution and land development planning.
