Geotechnical Engineering

Optimize foundation designs

Without proper geotechnical research, there is greater risk for fatal flaws on a project. By investigating the subsurface conditions through soil borings, cone penetration tests, and other tests, we can provide quality recommendations for the design and construction of project infrastructure.
