Foundations
Accurately calculating bearing capacity is fundamental to all foundation design. Soil parameters are determined based on empirical relationships, the results of laboratory testing, and the expertise of experienced geotechnical engineers. Our engineers then formulate geotechnical recommendations for the most appropriate foundation design.
Foundations affect constructability, life expectancy, maintenance and life cycle cost. Gannett Fleming specialists analyze all types of shallow and deep foundations using the latest computer applications.
Proper inspection of foundations during construction is critical to the success of any project. Foundations frequently require innovative modifications to accommodate variations in subsurface conditions.
