Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with the behavior of earth materials. It involves investigating subsurface conditions and materials; determining their physical, mechanical, and chemical properties; evaluating their stability; and designing earthworks and foundations.
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.
Our process typically involves a site reconnaissance, subsurface exploration (drilling, test pits, etc.), laboratory testing, data analysis, and report preparation. The specific steps depend on the project requirements and site conditions.
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.
You can request a quote by contacting us directly. Please provide details about your project, including the location, type of development, and any specific geotechnical concerns.
The duration of a geotechnical investigation depends on the project's complexity and site conditions. We strive to complete our investigations as efficiently as possible while maintaining the highest quality standards. We will provide an estimated timeline in our proposal.
