Zannino Engineering, Inc.

Provides comprehensive subsurface exploration and analysis to support foundation design and earth retention systems. Practical geotechnical consulting helps developers and design professionals mitigate risk from early planning through active construction.

• Subsurface Investigations

  Explores underground soil and rock conditions through test borings and sampling to determine site suitability and parameters.

• Foundation Design Recommendations

  Develops engineering guidance for shallow or deep foundations, slab support, and site preparation based on soil analysis.

• Sheeting and Shoring Design

  Creates design solutions for deep excavations and soil retention systems to ensure temporary and permanent safety on site.

Delivers field inspections and testing of structural elements to verify alignment with strict contract specifications. Experienced personnel evaluate essential structural components to ensure safety and quality control.

• Earthwork Testing

  Verifies soil compaction and subgrade conditions during grading and fill placement using field density testing.

• Concrete Testing

  Performs field measurements of slump, air content, and temperature, alongside laboratory compressive strength testing of cylinders.

• Reinforcing Steel Inspection

  Inspects rebar placement, spacing, and lap splices prior to concrete placement to confirm adherence to structural drawings.

• Masonry Inspection

  Evaluates mortar, grout, and block placement to confirm the structural integrity of load-bearing and non-load-bearing masonry walls.

• Special Inspections

  Conducts independent third-party evaluations of critical building elements as mandated by building codes and municipal authorities.

Operates an AASHTO-accredited facility co-located with the main offices, delivering rigorous independent testing of construction materials. Validated by the US Army Corps of Engineers, this facility provides rapid and defensible material analysis.

• Soil and Aggregate Testing

  Analyzes physical properties of soil and stone materials in a controlled laboratory environment to verify classification and structural characteristics.

• Concrete and Grout Testing

  Measures compressive strength and physical characteristics of concrete, mortar, and grout specimens to verify compliance.

Conducts diligent property assessments and field monitoring to identify and mitigate environmental liabilities. Diligent assessment protocols support real estate transactions and regulatory compliance.

• Phase I Environmental Site Assessments

  Performs historical and historical-use reviews of properties to identify potential environmental liabilities and recognized conditions.

• Phase II Environmental Site Assessments

  Conducts soil, vapor, and groundwater sampling to confirm or rule out contamination identified during initial property reviews.

• Phase III Site Remediation

  Coordinates cleanup efforts and remediation planning to restore contaminated properties to compliance with regulatory standards.

• Land Disturbance Monitoring

  Monitors active construction sites to ensure soil erosion, sediment control, and run-off comply with environmental permits.

• Water Quality Monitoring

  Performs regular sampling and analytical testing of surface water and groundwater systems to track environmental safety.

Assists homebuilders and residential developers with tailored site assessments and structural consultations. Professional soil and foundation guidance helps protect residential structures against local soil hazards.

• Shrink-Swell Soil Evaluations

  Identifies active clay soils that expand and contract, protecting foundations from structural damage.

• Residential Footing and Foundation Recommendations

  Provides specific design guidance for residential footings to accommodate local soil conditions and shrink-swell risks.

• Roadway and Utilities Consulting

  Advises on subgrade preparation and alignment for neighborhood infrastructure, including residential roads and utility lines.
