Earthwork and Excavation Design in BC – Stable Ground Starts Here

Looking for reliable earthwork and excavation design services in British Columbia? Whether you’re building homes, commercial buildings, or infrastructure, your project’s success depends on what lies beneath. At Pacific Geotechnical, we specialize in excavation planning, grading, and preload and settlement analysis to help you build on a solid foundation.

Why Earthwork and Excavation Design Matters

Earthwork and excavation design is the process of planning how soil and rock are moved, supported, and shaped to prepare a site for construction. Our services include:

Cut and fill analysis
Slope stability and retaining wall design
Excavation depth and shoring plans
Groundwater control and dewatering
Site grading and drainage planning

Proper design reduces construction delays, prevents structural failure, and ensures compliance with BC building codes.

Preload and Settlement Analysis – Control Ground Movement

If your site contains soft or compressible soils, preload and settlement analysis is critical. Without it, your building could slowly sink, causing costly repairs.

We help developers and contractors with:

Settlement prediction models
Preload or surcharge recommendations
Monitoring plans using settlement plates
Ground improvement strategies (wick drains, stone columns)

Our goal is to stabilize the ground before construction, ensuring long-term safety and performance.

When Do You Need These Services?

You should consider earthwork and excavation design or settlement analysis if:

The soil has high moisture or is soft (clay, peat)
You’re building on sloped or uneven terrain
Excavation depths are more than 2 meters
The water table is high
Settlement risk is identified during soil testing
