Geotechnical Engineering

Professional Services Pathway

Our projects often begin with pre-construction and design services including subsurface explorations, property transaction assessments (Phase I ESAs), and mechanically stabilized earth wall designs.  After we design your deep foundation and make recommendations, we can monitor the installation during the construction phase.   Our construction phase services are not limited to only construction materials testing and special inspections, but we often perform those services simultaneously.

In a perfect world, GeoTrack expertise may not be needed.  In today’s world, our experienced geotechnical engineers are available to assist you should your project construction phase encounter unsatisfactory conditions such as soft soils, shallow ground water, shallow rock, or other unfavorable findings. Nature has been known to give us some surprises from time to time, so we are here to help.  Our full scope of geotechnical capabilities enable us to assist clients throughout a project from inception to completion, and with challenges that require both routine testing and advanced geotechnical expertise.
