Geotechnical Engineering Consultation Services

Soil Testing

We analyze soil samples to determine strength, composition, and drainage. This helps identify any issues that could affect your foundation. You get a clear report on soil limits and recommendations for building safely.

Site Investigation

We collect soil and rock samples from your property. Our team performs tests to understand the strength and makeup of the ground. This information guides us in identifying potential problems like soil settlement or landslides. We also check water levels that could affect your foundation.

Slope Stability Analysis

If your land includes slopes, we evaluate their risk of sliding or erosion. We model how soil and water affect slope behavior under different conditions. Then, we recommend measures like retaining walls or drainage systems. These steps help protect your property over the long term.

Groundwater Management

Water beneath the surface can impact your construction. We assess groundwater levels and flow patterns on your site. Our team proposes drainage solutions to reduce water pressure on foundations. This prevents problems like soil weakening or flooding around your building. You’ll receive practical plans to manage water safely.

Foundation and Structural Recommendations

Design Guidance for Foundations

We analyze your building’s site conditions, soil type, and load requirements to recommend the best foundation design for your project. This includes options like slab-on-grade, pier and beam, or deep foundations based on what suits your land and structure.


Our recommendations include details on foundation depth, materials, and reinforcement. We aim to ensure stability, prevent settling, and handle moisture or soil movement issues from the start. This approach minimizes future risks related to cracking or structural damage.

Remediation Strategies

If your foundation shows signs of damage, we identify the causes through careful inspection and testing. Common problems such as soil shifting, water damage, or poor original design get targeted specifically.


Our remediation plans focus on repair methods like underpinning, pier installation, or drainage improvement. We explain each option so you understand how it will stabilize or restore your foundation, keeping your building safe and sound.
