Residential Subdivisions
Location: Northern Virginia

Geotechnical Engineering Services
Geotechnical engineering services typically consist of field exploration and subsurface investigations using test borings, test pits, hand augers, and/or geophysical methods (seismic refraction, electrical resistivity, micro-gravity, etc.) to identify and evaluate soil, bedrock, and groundwater conditions for new residential subdivisions.  Geotechnical design recommendations are generally provided for shallow foundations, basement and/or garage slabs, below-grade and retaining walls, utility and pavement improvements as well as site preparation/structural fill selection, placement, and compaction.  Unique or challenging site conditions (existing fill, marine clays, shallow bedrock, high groundwater, slopes, etc.) are additionally addressed to identify any special design/construction considerations and eliminate long-term performance problems.
