Every successful project starts with understanding what is beneath the ground surface.

We conduct investigations to provide you with subsurface information when you need it, helping owners, developers, architects, and engineers understand site conditions and how best to prepare the site. No matter the complexity of your project, we use the best mix of conventional geotechnical investigation techniques, soil sampling and testing, and other methods to collect the information needed to develop clear recommendations.

Solutions that are practical to build and balance safety, performance, and cost.

Our engineers have decades of hands-on experience designing systems that meet real-world challenges, from tough soil conditions to heavy loads. We help you look at your options, understand the risks, and choose the most efficient solution, whether it’s a standard method or a new approach that saves time, money, or effort.

Proactive insight that protects your project and reduces long-term risk.

Sites with slopes, changing soils, or geologic hazards need careful study to ensure long-term safety and performance. We use advanced analysis to spot risks early and create practical solutions. We help you plan with confidence, protect your investment, and deliver strong projects that last for decades.

Geotechnical Engineering Services

We evaluate subsurface conditions and develop cost‑effective, practical geotechnical recommendations to identify foundation systems suited to your project’s structural requirements and to address problematic subsurface conditions and performance requirements. 

Our field team delivers on‑site geotechnical inspection and testing for earthwork, deep foundations, retaining walls, deep ground improvement, pavements, and other site construction activities, ensuring compliance with project specifications, local and state reporting requirements, and industry standards. 

We design and analyze a full range of retaining wall systems, providing stability evaluations, design parameters, and practical wall type recommendations tailored to site-specific conditions. 

We assess stability under static and seismic loading conditions, evaluate landslide mechanisms, develop remediation strategies, and perform analyses needed to provide assurance of short- and long-term stability of these earthen structures.    

We identify and evaluate geologic hazards, including liquefaction, lateral spread, slope instability, and faulting, and offer peer review services for municipal, educational, industrial, commercial, and residential projects.
