The focus of the Geotechnical Services Division is to provide foundation and paving recommendations based on a testing program designed specifically to that particular project and clients needs. Our technicians are on sight during drilling to evaluate site conditions and perform subsurface investigations which consist of drilling borings and securing samples. The samples are then transported to our laboratory for further study and testing. While engineers identify the problems and the possible causes, the results of laboratory testing and analysis establish the facts and parameters involved. Field and laboratory testing of earth, construction materials and groundwater often complement each other. In a complete testing program, they work together to assure accurate and adequate knowledge of the materials used during design, construction and evaluation of potential subsoil and groundwater stability problems.
Compiling and interpreting data from these varied operations to provide recommendations satisfying the conditions and effecting solutions is one of the important skills provided by Science Engineering, Ltd. All testing is performed in accordance with the policies and procedures outlined by ASTM, ACI, and state guidelines.
