Services
Geotechnical Engineering
Our geotechnical engineering services assess soil properties and subsurface conditions for residential and commercial developments. We provide foundation recommendations, slope stability analysis, and earthwork specifications. Our engineers conduct field investigations and laboratory testing to ensure safe, code-compliant construction solutions.
Concrete Testing
We perform comprehensive concrete testing including slump tests, cylinder casting, and compressive strength analysis. Our ACI-certified technicians conduct field testing during placement and provide laboratory analysis of cured samples. This ensures structural integrity meets project specifications and building codes.
Environmental Assessments
Our environmental site assessments identify potential contamination and regulatory compliance issues. We conduct Phase I and II assessments, soil and groundwater sampling, and hazardous material surveys. These evaluations help clients understand environmental risks before property acquisition or development.
Construction Observation
We provide continuous construction observation services to verify work complies with approved plans and specifications. Our inspectors monitor earthwork, concrete placement, and structural steel installation. Daily reports document progress and ensure adherence to quality standards throughout the building process.
Special Inspections
Our special inspection services cover structural steel welding, masonry, and wood framing systems. We verify materials and workmanship meet building code requirements. These inspections ensure critical structural components perform as designed during the building's lifespan.
