Capabilities

Geotechnical Engineering

Service website

Evaluates and defines construction and long-term performance risks associated with subsurface conditions. Custom analysis and recommendations are provided for both new construction and existing structures, including buildings, airports, landfills, and dams.

  • Subsurface Exploration

    Uses a diverse fleet of drill rigs to retrieve subsurface samples in challenging environments.

  • Laboratory Testing and Analysis

    Conducts soil, aggregate, and rock testing to determine fundamental engineering properties.

  • Foundation Analysis and Design

    Evaluates deep and shallow foundation alternatives to support structural loads.

  • Pavement Evaluations and Design

    Analyzes subgrade performance and designs long-lasting pavement sections.

  • Slope Stability Analysis

    Assesses natural and man-made slopes to prevent soil failure and landslides.

  • Soil Reinforcement

    Designs reinforcement systems to improve load-bearing capacity and stability.

  • Sinkhole Studies

    Investigates geologic hazards and develops remediation plans for sinkhole-prone areas.

  • Unknown Foundation Studies

    Investigates existing, undocumented structural foundations using specialized techniques.

  • Corridor Studies

    Evaluates geotechnical conditions along linear infrastructure alignments.

  • Expert Witness Testimony

    Provides professional engineering forensic assessments and legal testimony.

  • Value Engineering

    Optimizes geotechnical designs to reduce construction costs without compromising safety.

Construction Materials Testing

Service website

Provides certified monitoring and quality control during all construction phases. In-house laboratories operate in compliance with ASTM and AASHTO standards, supporting the evaluation of soils, concrete, aggregate, and asphalt.

  • Soil Testing and Analysis

    Performs laboratory and field testing of soils to verify compaction, moisture, and bearing capacity.

  • Concrete Testing

    Conducts compressive strength testing, air content evaluation, and field sampling of concrete mixes.

  • Aggregate Testing

    Evaluates bulk density, organic impurities, relative specific gravity, absorption, and gradation.

  • Asphalt Testing

    Verifies asphalt pavement mix properties and field compaction compliance.

  • Construction Monitoring and Quality Control

    Provides continuous quality assurance oversight on jobsites to verify specification compliance.

Inspections and Specialty Testing

Service website

Delivers building and structural inspection services to public and private clients. Field inspections are led by licensed professionals to ensure regulatory compliance and adherence to design specifications.

  • Threshold and Special Inspection

    Provides structural inspections of threshold buildings as mandated by state regulations.

  • Construction Engineering Inspection

    Performs independent field observations, documentation, and compliance testing for civil works.

  • Roofing Inspection

    Assesses roof installation quality, system components, and adherence to structural wind-load designs.

Digital Solutions for Infrastructure

Service website

Integrates physical engineering expertise with modern data technologies to enhance asset management. These applications enable owners to monitor structural integrity and optimize maintenance schedules over time.

  • AI and Machine Learning Analytics

    Applies predictive modeling to evaluate subsurface risks and asset performance.

  • Digital Twin Development

    Creates virtual representations of infrastructure to simulate real-world physical behaviors.

  • Cloud-Based Data Pipelines

    Builds secure pipelines to aggregate and process geotechnical sensor streams.

  • Smart Infrastructure Applications

    Deploys custom software applications for real-time asset monitoring and decision-making.
