Triad Engineering, Inc. services

Triad was originally formed in 1975 as a geotechnical engineering firm, and our expertise in this discipline is superior. Many of Triad’s engineers have advanced degrees in geotechnical engineering. The combined education and professional experience of our staff provides our clients with cost effective and practical solutions for the most difficult soil, rock and groundwater problems. Our clients include industrial and mining companies, governmental agencies, contractors, architects, engineers, developers, owners and commercial organizations.

Triad has a team of professional personnel which provides civil engineering design services in a variety of markets, including land planning, site development of residential subdivisions, commercial development, education and healthcare facilities, water/wastewater, landfills, reservoirs, and many other facets of land development. We can combine many other in-house services, from surveying to construction inspection and testing, to provide a product from start to finish. Our goal is to design a cost effective project that incorporates good engineering science, meets the local, state, and federal regulations or codes, and is an appealing design that meets or exceeds client expectations.

Triad provides a broad, comprehensive range of environmental consulting services to a variety of clients through the expertise of our diverse staff of environmental scientists, engineers, geologists, biologists, chemists, industrial hygienists, and licensed remediation specialists. Our clients include federal and state regulatory agencies, county development offices, property owners, developers, banks, hospitals, and private industries.

Triad provides complete professional surveying and mapping services for clients in construction, mining and land development. All surveys are completed under the supervision of a licensed land surveyor experienced in the particular type of survey required. Triad utilizes GPS, robotic and conventional total stations with electronic data collectors. All surveys and mapping meet National Map Accuracy Standards or other appropriate quality standards. Triad routinely provides MSHA and OSHA trained survey crews, depending upon the site specific requirements.

Quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) construction monitoring services have been core specialties since Triad was founded in 1975. We maintain a staff of experienced construction inspectors and technicians who are certified by ACI, WVDOH, VDOT, NICET, and numerous other local, state and/or nationally recognized organizations, as needed in the specific jurisdiction of the project. Our QA/QC management staff are long-term employees who have been instrumental in establishing close working relationships with our clients. Our growth has been the result of staff dedication, client satisfaction, and significant repeat business from clients, many of whom have been with us for 25+ years. You can trust Triad to be constantly on guard for your interests. Triad will provide efficient, cost effective services which will focus on the construction quality which your project deserves.

Providing support for our geotechnical engineering and construction monitoring divisions, Triad maintains complete laboratory facilities where tests are conducted by experienced technicians under the supervision of professional engineers. Our laboratory technicians hold many applicable state agency certifications. Materials tested include soil, concrete, aggregate, asphalt, rock, and sprayed-on fireproofing. Our testing labs routinely participate in national quality control programs administered by AMRL and CCRL which follow AASHTO and ASTM testing procedures.

Triad owns and operates numerous drilling rigs at various offices. Our drilling fleet includes truck-mounted, track-mounted, skid-mounted, and ATV-mounted rigs. Drill rigs are available at all office locations as needed. The track-, ATV-, and skid-mounted units can access the most difficult types of terrain. Our rigs provide support primarily for in-house geotechnical engineering projects. In addition, Triad routinely provides subcontract drilling services for other consultants, private industry, and state, federal, or municipal governments. Support equipment includes water trucks, tanks, piping, pumps, and portable grout mixer/pumps. Triad can provide drill crews who are OSHA and MSHA trained when required for the project.
