Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineers perform soil analysis and foundation recommendations using in-house drilling services. We conduct standard penetration tests, soil sampling, and permeability testing while maintaining strict quality control. With three geotechnical drill rigs operating statewide, we control schedules and costs while accessing restricted sites.
Construction Materials Testing
We offer comprehensive materials testing through AASHTO-accredited laboratories in Tampa and Broward. Our services include soil, concrete, and asphalt testing with ACI/CTQP-certified technicians. We perform compaction monitoring, augercast pile monitoring, and drilled shaft monitoring during construction phases.
Forensic-Structural Engineering
Our forensic engineers investigate structural failures and damage causes through detailed assessments. We provide peer reviews, expert witness testimony, and litigation support with defensible reports. Services include damage origin analysis, code compliance evaluations, and reparability assessments for insurance and legal cases.
