Subsurface soil investigations and evaluations of foundation systems and remediation options. Includes standard penetration testing, laboratory analysis of soil properties, and groundwater level evaluation.
Utilizes test borings to identify underground soil layers and groundwater conditions, translating data into comprehensive engineering reports.
Investigates subterranean anomalies and sinkhole activity using specialized diagnostic tools like ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity imaging.
Evaluates shallow and deep foundations to determine load-bearing capacities and resolve settlement problems in structures.
Analyzes the feasibility of soil stabilization techniques like dynamic compaction, soil mixing, and grouting to prepare sites for development.
Designs structural support and stabilization plans for buildings affected by ground movement or sinkhole damage.
Provides guidance to minimize construction-induced vibration impacts from tasks such as pile driving, demolition, and blasting.
Quality assurance and monitoring services for foundation installation and ground modification tasks to ensure alignment with design specifications.
Documents the structural state of nearby buildings before and after vibration-intensive construction to monitor for potential damage.
Documents the installation parameters and performs load testing for driven piles, auger cast-in-place piles, micropiles, and helical piers.
Oversees soil modification operations like compaction and demucking to verify execution aligns with engineering requirements.
Tracks permeation, compaction, and chemical grouting activities to ensure correct material placement and structural safety.
Utilizes seismographs to measure and record vibration waves generated during major construction or excavation works.
Assessing potential environmental liabilities and site contamination to support real estate transactions and development due diligence.
Conducts historical document reviews, site inspections, and interviews to detect potential contamination issues.
Collects and analyzes soil and water samples when preliminary assessments indicate possible contamination risks.
Gathers soil core samples according to state environmental regulations for laboratory chemical profiling.
Performs hydrological sampling to identify potential contaminants and verify water quality standards.
Condition assessments, safety inspections, and capital reserve studies tailored for residential associations and commercial real estate managers.
Evaluates key structural components to formulate long-term maintenance and replacement funding plans in compliance with state legislation.
Conducts multi-stage safety inspections of older multi-family residential structures to verify ongoing structural adequacy.
Assesses building systems and common elements during the transition of facility ownership from developers to associations.
Work in this area is organized into supported delivery tasks.
