What’s underground is just as important as what’s on the surface.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Our Geotechnical Engineering & Drilling Department will play a key role in completing your project no matter how difficult.

Our professional geotechnical engineering team has extensive experience in geotechnical investigation and specialize in difficult sites utilizing a variety of techniques. We operate truck mounted rigs for traditional sites and all-terrain rigs especially suited for difficult sites. Our wide range of clients include educational, municipal, industrial, architectural, and religious groups.

Owning our own drill rigs allows us the opportunity to make on-site adjustments in order to complete the project with little or no delays. Soil investigations are a crucial part of any project and all work is performed in accordance with ASTM guidelines.

If you desire a geotechnical engineering team with experience, knowledge, and integrity, contact Soils & Structures.
