Our Investigation Process
We believe in demystifying the geotechnical process, so you always know exactly what is happening on your site. When you partner with our experienced engineers for assessing subsurface conditions, here is how our proven workflow operates:
-
Phase 1: Desktop study. Before boots hit the ground, our team reviews historical maps and regional geological records to identify potential subsurface risks early.
-
Phase 2: Fieldwork and testing. We deploy to your site to conduct trial pitting or deploy our dedicated drilling services. We safely extract soil and groundwater samples while measuring vital ground properties.
-
Phase 3: Analysis and reporting. Extracted samples undergo stringent testing. You then receive a comprehensive, plain-English engineering report detailing our findings alongside actionable recommendations.
