Services
Subsurface Investigation
Our subsurface investigation services identify soil composition, groundwater levels, and subsurface conditions using advanced methods like cone penetration testing and core drilling. We provide detailed reports for foundation design and earthwork planning. Our engineers analyze data to mitigate risks associated with settlement, drainage, and structural stability.
Material Testing
We conduct comprehensive material testing for concrete, masonry, and steel components during construction. Our services verify compliance with building codes and project specifications through slump tests, strength analysis, and density measurements. This ensures structural integrity and long-term performance of construction projects.
Laboratory Testing
Our AASHTO-accredited laboratory performs soil classification, permeability tests, and chemical analysis. We evaluate soil properties for bearing capacity, compaction requirements, and environmental impact assessments. Our testing supports accurate foundation design and construction planning across diverse project types.
Geotechnical Engineering
We provide geotechnical engineering solutions for shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, and slope stability analysis. Our services include pavement design, compaction grouting recommendations, and sinkhole investigation to ensure safe, code-compliant construction projects.
Damage Investigation
Our damage investigation services identify causes of foundation cracks, water seepage, and pavement failures. We analyze settlement patterns, drainage issues, and construction defects to develop repair solutions for residential and commercial properties.
