Costs are controlled by anticipating geologic hazards <br />and problem soil conditions prior to facility design and construction. <br />Our staff provides a thorough assessment of geologic and <br />subsurface conditions. We apply the most suitable and cost- <br />effective geotechnical investigative techniques and supervise all <br />aspects of field drilling, sampling and testing. Laboratory testing is <br />performed under stringent quality control/quality assurance <br />standards. <br /> <br />Services: <br />.
