Driesenga & Associates

The Driesenga & Associates survey group is led by a team of experienced licensed land surveyors that direct crews of field and CAD technicians through a vast range of services. Our survey group works in conjunction with our civil engineering group on many projects to maximize efficiency and save clients time and money. Our state-of-the-art technology, including robotic total stations with electronic data collectors (designed to smoothly interface with our CAD drafting software), allow us to provide unmatched efficiency in field-to-drawing conversion.

To ensure material quality and construction procedures comply with project specs and design standards, today's building codes and highway standards call for our on-site inspection and laboratory testing of soils, concrete, asphalt, steel, masonry, and other construction materials. All of our technicians are certified by state agencies and technical organizations in aggregate, concrete, bituminous, and masonry materials testing. With our high level of experience and training, we're proud to be Michigan's go-to materials testing experts.

Driven primarily by regulation, the environmental consulting field is a dynamic and ever-changing area of practice. Our experienced team is always up to speed with existing environmental regulations and constantly reviews new and proposed ones. We, too, offer the skill and intuitiveness to think one step ahead when it comes to the various interpretations of regulations by governmental agencies. By maintaining constant focus on existing, proposed and new regulations, and through close communication with stakeholders and implementing agencies, Driesenga & Associates is able to provide clients with innovative, cost-effective solutions to any environmental management issues.

Driesenga & Associates' geotechnical team is skilled in conducting a wide range of geotechnical investigations, from simple one-story residential, commercial or industrial facilities, to multi-story structures, dams, highways, bridges, retaining walls and more. With our client-focused approach, we work closely with you in order to fully understand the type of development and related structural loads proposed for a site. Then, based on a scope of services that we customize to your needs, we obtain data to form recommendations for site preparation and construction procedures, as well as for foundation, retaining wall, floor slab, and pavement design.
