Geotechnical engineering requires thorough knowledge of soil, rock and groundwater conditions in a local area. Conditions vary over relatively short geographic distances and can even vary widely across the same project site. Geotechnical engineering in Augusta is different from that of other areas in Georgia and South Carolina, in particular due to Augusta being located at the interface of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain geologic regions.
Soil, rock, and groundwater are unique, so the success of your project depends on people who know and can effectively analyze those conditions. Site preparation and grading, along with foundation, slab and pavement support conditions, represent some of the largest variables regarding construction cost on a project.
Having an experienced local geotechnical engineer is critical to evaluating subsurface conditions properly and evaluating the most cost effective solutions for grading and structural support of your project.
The fee for experienced geotechnical engineering on your project can pay itself back 10 or fold in design and construction savings when you choose the right firm. We work with you from the due diligence stage, through planning and design as well as follow on inspection work through construction. Contact our geotechnical engineering team in our Augusta, GA office to begin discussing your project.
Other large geotechnical projects in Georgia that demonstrate our range of expertise include:. Each site presents different challenges to the design and construction of any large project. Diligent laboratory analysis is the cornerstone of any geotechnical engineering project. We ensure our laboratory tests meet strict requirements for soil, rock, and groundwater analysis.
