Geotechnical Engineering Services

For the geotechnical engineering services you need, F&R’s licensed, experienced professional engineers are dedicated to helping bring your vision to life.

You can’t tell what types of soils are beneath the surface or how they will behave just by looking at them. Does your project site have areas of uncontrolled fill? Karst and limestone features that can lead to sinkholes? Is it clay and silt or bedrock? How will these soils behave when impacted by excess water, an earthquake, or your structure’s anticipated weight? You can’t tell any of those things by looking at a map or even by walking a site.

Before you can develop a design or break ground, you need to understand the nature of the subsurface conditions that exist beneath the structures you intend to build. Whether it’s a multi-story tower with a three-level below-grade parking garage in an urban setting, a bridge that spans a waterway near the coastal shoals, or a highway that winds through the countryside and into the mountains beyond, you must understand the nature of the soils and rock that will support your project.
