Local Geologic Expertise
Without local geological understanding, your project’s off to a muddy start. You need experts who know the Pacific Northwest and the unique challenges it brings to every project.
We use core data, aerial photography, and specialized geophysical tactics, combined with state-of-the-art soil and rock evaluation software, to understand your geologic hazards and earthquake risks. Our own materials testing laboratory ensures your results are accurate and reliable. And our team isn’t just knowledgeable; they are licensed experts in Oregon State’s geology.
