Geotechnical Engineering

Engineering Services and Design of SoCal develops tailored geotechnical exploration programs in support of each client’s specific project. We know that below the surface can be as crucial and complex as the structure it supports. Our team approach to geotechnical engineering extends beyond simply providing engineering data. We educate our clients about the risks and benefits of the engineering recommendations we provide, including cost benefit for non-conventional solutions. Quick geotechnical investigations for smaller remodeling projects providing the geotechnical investigation 3 to 4 weeks after field investigation.

Services Include

• Subsurface Soil Sampling Explorations, Assessments, and Design incorporating our extensive subsurface database for local soil conditions.
• Geotechnical Investigation Report for the foundation repairs with underpinning metallic pier (helical and push piers).
• Geotechnical Construction Consulting to support construction projects including value engineering review, sample testing, laboratory testing for soil modification and evaluation of foundation bearing conditions.
• Specialized In-situ (in place testing) Soil Testing utilizing the following methods: Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP), Hollow Stem Auger, Limited Access Equipment with Solid Stem Auger for backyards. We provide the project team with cost effective recommendations for foundations supporting residences, buildings and infrastructure for new or existing structures.
• Reinforced Earth Structures, Slopes and Retention Design based on specific site conditions utilizing industry-leading analysis and design software.
