Geotech Services During Construction
Geotechnical services during residential construction ensure your home’s foundation matches the site’s soil and engineering designs. Our field engineers monitor earthwork, test compaction, and inspect subgrades. We provide on-site quality control and verification so your project stays safe, stable, and compliant with local regulations.
We serve as the vital link between your structural engineer and the earthwork contractor. Our on-site monitoring identifies unforeseen soil or groundwater conditions before they cause costly delays or structural issues.
What’s included?
-
Subgrade & Foundation Observations: We verify that footing excavations and drilled piers reach competent, load-bearing strata as specified in your geotechnical report.
-
Soil Compaction Testing: We conduct field density tests during backfilling and grading to prevent future settlement, slab cracking, or retaining wall failure.
-
Retaining Wall Drainage Verification: We observe the installation of sub-surface drainage systems and waterproofing to protect below-grade structures.
-
Special Inspections: We act as the independent testing agency, providing the necessary documentation required by city and county building departments to sign off on your permits.
-
Provide a signed and stamped letter documenting that the construction performed was in general conformance with our geotechnical report.
