Services
Soil Testing
Our AASHTO-accredited laboratory performs comprehensive soil testing including moisture density, Atterberg limits, and permeability analysis. We provide accurate data for foundation design and earthwork projects. Our certified technicians use advanced equipment to ensure precise results for construction planning.
Foundation Design
We offer expert foundation design recommendations for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Our engineers analyze subsurface conditions to determine optimal shallow or deep foundation systems. Services include bearing capacity calculations and settlement analysis for structural stability.
Concrete Analysis
Our laboratory conducts concrete compressive strength testing and reinforcement inspection. We evaluate mix designs and perform field testing during construction. Our services ensure compliance with ACI standards for structural integrity and durability.
Slope Stability
We perform slope stability analysis and design remediation solutions for failing embankments. Our engineers use advanced software to model seepage and failure scenarios. Services include drainage solutions and reinforcement systems for hillside developments.
Subsurface Investigations
Our team conducts thorough subsurface investigations using drilling and in-situ testing. We provide detailed reports on soil stratigraphy and groundwater conditions. Services support site characterization for new construction and infrastructure projects.
