Geotechnical Investigations and Foundation Evaluations Services
When you retain GeoInsight, we integrate ourselves with your existing project team to understand project objectives, restrictions, and variables and to ensure seamless communication. This helps us design and evaluate an efficient, technically-sound, cost-effective investigation approach that makes sense for your project and meets the design team`s goals.
How Are Investigation Objectives Defined?
Investigation objectives are often defined by site conditions, proposed or existing structural loads, environmental loads (e.g., wind and hydrostatic forces), the configuration of the structure (i.e., a tower versus a heavy machine), and the area of influence of the proposed or existing structure. Our depth of experience with New England geology gives us strong intuition about where and what types of geotechnical soil samples to collect for field and laboratory tests to support investigation activities.
Quality Assurance: Project Specifications and Construction Drawings
Clients frequently request the preparation or review of project specifications and construction drawings following our geotechnical evaluation. This involvement ensures that our investigation and evaluation results are accurately transferred to the final design and construction, achieving a deeper level of quality assurance.
