GGC strives to assist clients in addressing subsurface conditions and geotechnical issues throughout all phases of a construction project. Geotechnical recommendations must consider the forces imposed on the structural foundations, pavements and/or roadways by both man and nature, as well as considering economic feasibility. To properly deliver the necessary geotechnical recommendations, a combination of data collection, knowledge and experience with soil types, the associated engineering characteristics of different soil types and conditions, as well as sound engineering judgement.
The expertise of this office includes:
Geotechnical investigations, engineering analyses and design recommendations
Subsurface exploration
Engineering services for construction
Foundation planning for structures
Construction inspections and observations (e.g. deep foundation installation and testing, soil nail installation observations, structural rebar placement, proof roll observation, etc.)
