Services
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineering services include subsurface exploration, soil borings, and foundation analysis to assess site conditions. We provide slope stability evaluations, seismic testing, and engineering recommendations for deep foundations and earth retention systems. Utilizing advanced drilling techniques, we ensure accurate data for infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects.
Environmental Consulting
We conduct Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental site assessments to identify contamination risks. Our services include asbestos surveys, groundwater sampling, and remediation planning. With expertise in regulatory compliance, we assist clients with underground storage tank closures and voluntary cleanup programs for industrial and commercial properties.
Contract Drilling
Our contract drilling division offers all-terrain capabilities for soil sampling, rock coring, and monitoring well installation. Using specialized rigs, we access remote locations like wetlands and parking lots. Services include gas probe installation, leachate piezometer setup, and cathodic protection systems for diverse construction and environmental projects.
Construction Materials Testing
We perform on-site and lab testing for concrete, asphalt, steel, and soil integrity. Services include nuclear density tests, concrete compressive strength analysis, and welding inspections. Our IDOT-certified technicians ensure compliance with ASTM standards, supporting quality control for highways, buildings, and infrastructure.
Soil Testing
Our soil testing services evaluate composition, corrosivity, and load-bearing capacity. Using borings and lab analysis, we identify hazards and recommend foundation solutions. Results guide construction decisions for residential, commercial, and industrial developments, ensuring structural safety and regulatory compliance.
