Geotechnical Investigations

Geotechnical Investigations (cont’d)

Geotechnical & Environmental Drilling

Truck and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) mounted drilling equipment is utilized for geotechnical and environmental soil/rock sampling and subsurface exploration. This equipment is capable of drilling /coring in excess of 300 feet below existing grade depending on soil and rock conditions. Ground water monitoring wells can be installed for longer term water level studies. In addition, we are equipped with portable drilling rigs which can be retrofitted to various situations such as interior of existing buildings, limited access, heavily wooded sites and hillsides.

Soils Laboratory Testing

A fully equipped soils laboratory and experienced geotechnical testing technicians are capable of performing soil identification and engineering classification, swell and suction testing, direct shear tests, moisture-density relationships, lime/ cement/ cemlime series, hydrometer analysis, unconfined compressive strength, consolidation, specific gravity, unit dry weight, grain size analysis, falling head permeability and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests.
