Construction Services
   Geotechnical testing is an essential element of quality control during construction of projects. Highly controlled fill placements are required for dams, landfills, highways, site work, airports, structure backfills, and foundations. Compliance with design requirements is determined by testing delivered materials and the in-place construction. Documentation of meeting quality requirements is important for acceptance of the projects by regulatory agencies.
Our firm provides geotechnical testing for construction projects on a routine basis. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, our firm can furnish complete on-site laboratories specifically tailored to the project needs and staffed by qualified technicians and engineers. These field laboratories provide all routine quality control services and documentation of quality compliance. On-site laboratories also provide the capability of rapid resolution of quality problems resulting from material variability. The testing work is fully supported by geotechnical engineers who are always available to assist with resolving quality problems.
