OUR CORE COMPETENCIES
We specialize in providing expert level and cost-effective subsurface investigation and geotechnical evaluation of soils and rocks. Our team is also experienced in pavement management, slope stability, pile foundations, and dam inspections through the use of non-destructive testing.
- Conducting desk reviews of published water, soil & rock data using NRCS, DEC and USGS
- Overseeing subsurface explorations in general accordance with ASTM D1586,
- Push tube sampling in general accordance with ASTM D1587
- The dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) in accordance with ASTM D6951
- Field Measurement of Hydraulic Conductivity Using Borehole Infiltration, ASTM D6391.
- Slug test, ASTM D4044
