Geotechnical Site Investigations Are Just The Beginning
No matter what you are building, it is vital that your foundations bear on stable ground. Our geotechnical engineering services, backed by decades of experience and advanced licenses in civil and geotechnical engineering, provide the insight you need to design with confidence.
Your investigation begins with our in-house drilling team and use of our ATV-mounted drill rig, allowing efficient access to a variety of sites. Each soil and rock sample is tested in our ODOT-certified laboratory by experienced technical staff, ensuring accurate, dependable results. From there, our engineers translate the data into practical recommendations that help you prepare stable ground for your foundations and deliver safer, more reliable projects.
