• Foundation Analysis

  Shallow and deep foundation analysis including bearing capacity, settlement, undercut/backfill capacities, reinforced soil fill, post-tensioned foundation analysis, pier/pile capacity, lateral and uplift analysis, and driven/auger cast piling.

• Field Load Testing

  Pile and drilled shaft load testing, instrumentation of test piles, pier/pile failure analysis, load/length relationships, rock anchors, plate load tests, and anchoring systems pullout.

• Slope and Embankment Stability

  Slope stability analysis, seepage/flow studies, embankment design, sheet piling, cut-off walls, dewatering, slurry walls, dam hazard evaluation, USACE/USDA safety analysis, and existing dam rehabilitation.

• Soil Stabilization and Improvement

  Soil-cement mix designs, lime modification, moisture-swell studies, geofabric analysis, soil/geogrid reinforcement, landfill liner/cover analysis, compaction control, reinforced earth fills, lime/chemical injection, compaction grouting, dynamic compaction, densification piling, preloading/surcharging fills, and drainage systems.

• Geoenvironmental Studies

  Landfill studies, quarry exploration, material resource surveys, borrow area studies, groundwater monitoring, brownfield site development, contaminated soil processing, and waste product recycling and disposal.

AECI provides quality and dependability in construction quality control testing, with services delivered in over 20 states on projects ranging from small earth dams to shopping malls exceeding one million square feet. Operations comply fully with ASTM, AASHTO, and other applicable industry standards. Facilities, personnel, equipment, and procedures are inspected regularly by the Corps of Engineers and the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory.

AECI engineers, geologists, and drillers bring over 50 years of combined experience to develop drilling and monitoring well systems. Staff are health and safety trained per OSHA 1910.120. AECI holds licensed water/monitoring well contractor status in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma, with capacity to obtain licensure in additional states.

AECI offers a broad range of environmental services derived from its geotechnical and laboratory expertise, from UST management to RCRA and CERCLA site investigations. Remediation systems include bioremediation, vapor extraction, pump and treat, and land farming.
