Geotechnical engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials. It involves investigating subsurface conditions and materials, determining their physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, evaluating site stability, and designing safe and efficient earthworks and foundations. At Pacific Geotechnical, we apply these principles to deliver reliable solutions for construction projects across British Columbia, ensuring that each foundation and structure is built on solid ground.
We primarily serve Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Please contact us to discuss projects outside of this region.
We provide geotechnical engineering consulting services for a wide range of projects, including residential, commercial, and industrial developments. This includes new construction, renovations, and infrastructure projects.
Geotechnical engineering is a specialized branch of civil engineering that focuses on the behavior of earth materials. It involves investigating subsurface conditions and materials, determining their physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, evaluating site stability, and designing safe and efficient earthworks and foundations. At Pacific Geotechnical, we follow a proven process tailored to each project, which typically includes site reconnaissance, subsurface exploration (such as drilling and test pits), laboratory testing, data analysis, and comprehensive report preparation. The exact steps vary based on project requirements and site conditions, ensuring accurate and reliable geotechnical solutions for construction projects across British Columbia.
A geotechnical site investigation is a comprehensive evaluation of subsurface soil and rock conditions. It's important because it provides critical information for safe and cost-effective design and construction, minimizing risks associated with unstable ground, groundwater, and other geological hazards.
The cost of a geotechnical investigation varies depending on the scope of work, site conditions, and project complexity. We provide customized quotes based on the specific requirements of each project. Please contact us to discuss your project needs.
