AES conducts geologic feasibility studies for onsite wastewater treatment systems to satisfy Los Angeles County Environmental Health requirements. This typically involves a detailed geologic characterization of a site as well as field percolation testing to test the subsurface absorption potential.

AES provides soils engineering, engineering geologic and environmental services, like a soils engineering report, for hundreds of construction projects every year across Southern California. Every year our experience builds on that acquired in the years prior. The result is that AES has its own extensive, proprietary library of soils and geology maps for most areas of greater Los Angeles.

This office has been responsible for engineering the foundations for well over 10,000 buildings in Southern California and providing, in each case, an accurate and reliable soils engineering report. The result of soil and rock tests and engineering analyses and calculations, the "soil report" gives recommendations to structural engineers and contractors about building design and construction. A foundation engineer can dispense the best recommendations as determined by the soil and rock types that underlay a built-structure.
