We conduct subsurface investigations, pavement design, and slope stability analysis to deliver tailored solutions for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. Our team ensures accurate assessments that inform critical construction decisions while maintaining compliance with local regulations and industry standards.
Environmental Services
We offer comprehensive environmental assessments and remediation services for soil, groundwater, and industrial hygiene issues. Our experts manage asbestos inspections, radon mitigation, mold evaluations, and regulatory compliance projects. With experience in negotiating with regulatory agencies, we implement cost-effective remediation techniques that address contamination while ensuring adherence to environmental regulations and safety standards.
Laboratory Testing
Our accredited laboratories perform testing on concrete, soil, and asphalt samples using state-of-the-art equipment. We maintain AMRL and CCRL accreditations for hot bituminous asphalt, aggregate, soil, and Portland cement concrete testing. Our technicians deliver accurate results for compaction tests, grain-size analysis, and strength evaluations that support quality control for construction projects across multiple industries.
Automated Data Collection
We utilize advanced non-destructive testing methods to assess pavement conditions and improve road maintenance practices. Our Road Doctor CamLink system analyzes pavement distress in real-time while GPS capabilities enable georeferencing of assets. This technology helps municipalities implement proactive maintenance strategies that extend pavement life cycles and optimize resource allocation for street network improvements.
