GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES

Building good foundations through geotechnical engineering.

Before a construction project ever breaks ground, a geotechnical engineer must evaluate subsurface conditions at the site and provide information for the design of the foundation, slope or any number of ground modifications which may be used in the project.

S&ME specializes in this kind of work.

Whether it’s a 5,000 square-foot office building or a 1,000-acre marine shipping terminal, an evaluation of subsurface conditions is needed for foundation design.

Our professionals conduct site feasibility assessment, preliminary planning, development, design, construction and post-construction performance assessments.  We have provided geotechnical services for airports, railroads, manufacturing facilities, highways and bridges, dams and levees, landfills, waste disposal systems, industrial buildings, port facilities and mass transit systems.

Often, our geotechnical services will be followed by materials engineering and testing during the construction of a project.  Whether we’re investigating subsurface conditions or designing slope stabilization systems, we strive to bring innovative and cost-effective solutions to the project.
