Services
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineering services provide comprehensive subsurface investigations for foundation design and construction planning. We perform soil sampling, bedrock coring, and laboratory testing to determine soil properties and bearing capacity. Our engineers deliver site-specific recommendations for shallow and deep foundation systems, pavement design, and slope stability analysis.
Materials Testing
We offer full-service materials testing for concrete, asphalt, aggregates, and soils in our AASHTO-certified laboratories. Our technicians perform field and lab testing to verify material compliance with project specifications and industry standards. Services include concrete cylinder testing, asphalt mix analysis, and quality control for construction projects.
Environmental Drilling
Our environmental drilling services support site assessments and remediation projects through precise soil and groundwater sampling. We use advanced drilling techniques to collect undisturbed samples for contamination analysis. Our team follows strict protocols for hazardous site investigations and regulatory compliance reporting.
Foundation Analysis
We specialize in foundation analysis for residential, commercial, and industrial structures. Our engineers evaluate soil conditions and structural loads to recommend optimal foundation systems. Services include pile driving monitoring, pier foundation design, and settlement analysis for new construction and existing structures.
