Services
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineering services address subsurface challenges through comprehensive site investigations, soil testing, and foundation design. We specialize in complex projects requiring slope stabilization, earth reinforcement, and ground improvement techniques. With advanced expertise in soft clay assessment and specialized geotechnical methods, we deliver solutions for infrastructure, dams, and environmental remediation projects across the eastern United States.
Environmental Remediation
We provide environmental remediation services for soil and groundwater contaminated with petroleum products and hazardous materials. Our team develops containment strategies and remediation plans for industrial sites, waste facilities, and public infrastructure projects. With specialized knowledge in subsurface environmental engineering, we implement solutions that meet regulatory requirements while ensuring long-term environmental protection and site stability.
Dam Engineering
Our dam engineering expertise includes design, assessment, and remediation of water supply reservoirs, flood control structures, and hydroelectric facilities. We conduct condition assessments, develop rehabilitation plans, and implement testing protocols for earth reinforcements. With participation in national research programs, we apply advanced techniques for evaluating metal loss and service life reliability in dam structures across diverse geological conditions.
Foundation Design
We offer foundation engineering services for commercial, industrial, and public infrastructure projects. Our approach combines subsurface exploration with advanced analysis to develop optimal foundation solutions for challenging soil conditions. Specializing in deep foundations, pile testing, and excavation support systems, we ensure structural stability while addressing site-specific geotechnical challenges through innovative design and construction monitoring.
Slope Stabilization
Our slope stabilization services address unstable soil and rock slopes that pose public safety risks. We implement solutions for roadway protection, embankment reinforcement, and landslide remediation using advanced geotechnical methods. With expertise in regional geologic mapping and structural analysis, we develop customized stabilization systems that integrate with site-specific subsurface conditions and environmental considerations across diverse project locations.
