Services
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineering services address foundation design, slope stability, and subsurface exploration for commercial and infrastructure projects. We conduct soil investigations to develop design criteria that prevent structural distress while optimizing construction costs. Our engineers apply seismic design parameters and geohazard assessments to ensure safe, durable solutions for both shallow and deep foundation systems.
Materials Engineering
We provide materials engineering expertise for concrete, asphalt, and masonry construction projects. Our team develops specifications and conducts destructive/non-destructive testing to verify material compliance. Specializing in subgrade stabilization and pavement design, we help clients achieve cost-effective solutions that meet Arizona DOT and tribal agency standards for industrial and transportation infrastructure.
Special Inspection
Our ICC-certified special inspectors verify structural compliance with approved plans and building codes. We conduct field observations for concrete, masonry, steel welding, and fireproofing applications. Our inspection reports document construction quality for submittal to building officials and project stakeholders while ensuring timely resolution of any discrepancies identified during construction.
Laboratory Testing
Our AASHTO-accredited laboratory performs soil, concrete, and asphalt testing following ASTM and AASHTO standards. We conduct Proctor tests, sieve analysis, and compressive strength evaluations to verify material properties. Our quality assurance program includes equipment calibration and proficiency testing to maintain consistent, defensible laboratory results for construction projects.
Construction Observation
We provide construction observation services to monitor earthwork, grading, and material placement during project execution. Our field technicians perform density testing and material sampling to verify compliance with project specifications. This proactive monitoring helps prevent costly rework while ensuring construction quality meets engineering requirements for infrastructure and building projects.
