Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical Engineering involves the investigation of existing subsurface conditions and materials and determines the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties that are relevant to a particular project. Investigating and compiling data obtained from soil and rock samples allows the potential risks posed by existing site conditions to be assessed, and allows the specifications and requirements for structures and earthworks to be built.
Preliminary Geotechnical exploration can prevent unforeseen and costly complications prior to construction and provide informative data to be used in the development of a site to ensure structural integrity and longevity. Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc. provides a variety of geotechnical services including:
- Geotechnical Investigation
- Seismic Hazard Analysis
- Liquefaction Analysis
- Slope Stability Analysis
- Pavement Section Design
- Grading & Foundation Recommendations
- Shoring Observation
