Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical Engineering

During project planning and design, our services typically consist of geotechnical investigations. Our work is routinely reviewed by a number of oversight agencies, including the California Geological Survey (CGS), the Division of the State Architect (DSA), and Caltrans.  Our geotechnical engineering experience spans a wide range of site geological conditions, ranging from soft, liquefiable soil to hard rock.
