Services
Geotechnical Engineering
We conduct comprehensive subsurface investigations and geotechnical evaluations for infrastructure projects. Our engineers assess soil stability, groundwater conditions, and seismic risks to ensure safe foundation design. Services include slope stability analysis, pavement evaluation, and utility clearance permitting for highways, bridges, and commercial developments.
Environmental Assessments
Our team performs Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments to identify contamination risks. We specialize in asbestos surveys, remediation planning, and groundwater discharge permitting. Services support land development projects with regulatory compliance and environmental protection strategies for former industrial and commercial properties.
Materials Testing
We provide AASHTO-accredited laboratory and field testing for construction materials. Our technicians evaluate soil, concrete, asphalt, and aggregates to meet project specifications. Services include mix design, quality control monitoring, and compliance testing for federal, state, and private sector infrastructure projects.
Special Inspections
Our ICC-certified inspectors ensure construction compliance with International Building Code requirements. We perform structural masonry, reinforced concrete, and steel welding inspections. Services include site grading verification and fireproofing assessments to guarantee structural integrity for commercial and public works projects.
Ground Source Heat Exchange
We design and install energy-efficient ground source heat exchange systems. Our engineers conduct thermal conductivity testing and borehole analysis to optimize system performance. This sustainable technology provides heating and cooling solutions with 50-year durability and reduced energy consumption for commercial buildings.
