Technical Capabilities & Standards Compliance
Foundation Engineering
Our foundation engineering expertise spans conventional and innovative techniques including spread footings, drilled shafts, driven piles, caissons, and helical foundations. We conduct comprehensive bearing capacity analysis, settlement predictions, and lateral load evaluations for complex loading conditions, variable soil profiles, and challenging subsurface conditions. Our engineers apply advanced numerical modeling and field verification techniques to optimize foundation design and ensure long-term performance.
Standards: ASTM D4945, ASTM D1143, API RP2A
Geotechnical Investigation
Comprehensive subsurface characterization through strategic boring programs, laboratory testing, and in-situ field testing including Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), Cone Penetration Tests (CPT), and direct shear testing. Our investigations establish accurate soil profiles, determine engineering properties, and identify potential geotechnical hazards such as collapse-prone soils, corrosive conditions, and liquefaction potential for seismic applications.
Standards: ASTM D1586, ASTM D3441, ASTM D854
Quality Assurance & Verification
Rigorous quality assurance protocols ensuring compliance with design specifications, construction standards, and regulatory requirements. Our programs include construction phase monitoring, quality control testing, load testing verification, and performance monitoring. We provide comprehensive documentation and compliance reporting to support project closeout and operational readiness.
Standards: USACE EM 1110-2-1913, ASTM D6432, MIL-STD-3034
Industry Applications
Military & Defense
Military installations demand uncompromising structural integrity and compliance with stringent DoD and USACE standards. Our civil engineering team provides specialized support for military base construction, hardened structures, and critical infrastructure with full understanding of military-specific design requirements, security considerations, and quality assurance protocols. We have extensive experience with Fortification and Protection (FORTS) standards and USACE civil engineering specifications.
Critical Infrastructure
Nuclear power plants, data centers, and strategic infrastructure require foundation systems engineered for extreme performance and absolute reliability. We provide specialized geotechnical and foundation engineering for projects with complex loading patterns, high redundancy requirements, and long-term durability expectations spanning decades of operational service.
