Our Geotechnical/Soils Reports

The most important deliverable we provide during our work with clients are our findings. You trust us as the experts, and we deliver. Not only is our staff highly trained and qualified, but our reports are also easy to read and easy to interpret.

Every report we provide includes:

:

    • Subsurface conditions including logs of test borings, a site map showing the boring locations and a description of the procedures and equipment used during the subsurface exploration.
    • Results of laboratory test and description of test methods
    • A description of subsurface conditions and geotechnical soil profile
    • A discussion on the foundation system, including foundation type, depths, and allowable bearing capacities.
    • Estimated settlements for foundation and embankment including total and differential settlement.
    • Slabs-on-grade
    • Lateral earth pressures and discussion on retaining walls and other earth retaining structures.
    • Earthwork, including site preparation, over-excavation requirements, fill placement, suitability of existing soils for fill materials. compaction requirement and methods of backfill.
    • Discussion on problematic subsurface conditions including groundwater and dewatering, depth to bedrock, collapsible or hydro-collapsible potential, expansive or compressible soils.
    • Discussion on drainage
    • Discussion on pavement design including pavement sections or alternative sections and on-site paving.
    • Estimated seismic site profile per the building code.
    • Corrosivity including resistivity, pH, soluble sulfate and chloride.
    • Expected slopes for structure excavation or shoring requirements.
    • Cut and fill slopes
    • Percolation/Infiltration data, where applicable
    • Information on natural soils frequency and subgrade modulus
