Geotechnical Engineering Services - Colorado Springs & Colorado
Subsurface Investigation
Subsurface Soil Investigations characterize the subsurface materials
and geologic structure by utilizing several types of drill rigs,
backhoes and hand excavation equipment. Site reconnaissance,
field and laboratory testing are performed to collect information
and samples to classify soil and rock and to evaluate their engineering
properties.
Foundation Engineering
Our geotechnical engineers analyze subsurface conditions and provide
recommendations for foundation design of proposed structures.
Allowable bearing pressure, frost depths, swell potential and settlement
are provided.
Geologic Hazards Evaluation
Our geologists and geotechnical engineers determine the presence
of geologic hazards that may adversely affect the project and provide
recommendations to mitigate the hazard.
Phase I & II Environmental Assessment
Our environmental scientists determine to environmental conditions
have a bearing on the acquisition, development and marketing
of property.
Slope Stability Evaluation
Our geotechnical engineers evaluate the stability of both existing
and proposed native and embankment slopes. Our engineers develop
stabilization recommendations including installation of retaining
systems, dewatering, failure plane mitigation, material selection
and pressure grouting.
Earthwork Specifications
Specifications are prepared for the site development based on subsurface
and geologic information. The characteristics of the soil
and rock as well as geologic hazards are incorporated into the specifications.
Special project needs with regard to schedule and budget are also
considered.
Pavement Design
A pavement design is developed utilizing the soil characteristic,
roadway designation and traffic loads. Innovation is applied
to the sampling procedures and design analysis to provide the optimal
design for the roadway owner.
Foundation Damage Mitigation
Our extensive experience in new construction and building renovation
provides insight into foundation damage investigations.
We coordinate the investigation with the structural department for
a comprehensive understanding of the problem and to develop a unique,
pragmatic mitigation and design.
