Pioneering specialized design and robust material testing in complex environments.

Nationally recognized technical discipline rooted in geologic principles and processes, our geology and geotechnical engineering practice delivers the subsurface expertise essential to designing, constructing, and sustaining resilient infrastructure nationwide. Our geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists provide comprehensive services across overlapping fields to collectively characterize earth processes including rock and soil mechanics with a focus on safe and responsible human development, seismic risk assessment, and mitigation of natural and anthropogenic hazards. Through a sound balance between field data collection, laboratory testing, and engineering analysis, geotechnical and geologic studies lead the path to substantial monetary savings for civil engineering projects of any type. 

Our national practice is composed of an ever-growing group of licensed professionals, soil technicians, engineers, geologists, special inspectors, scientists, and administrators spanning all levels from staff to senior leadership across the country. This team includes more than 300 licensed professional engineers, geologists, and engineering geologists nationwide.  Our geotechnical services are delivered by this skilled team of licensed professionals, fully committed to ensuring that every project is backed by experienced practitioners who possess a deep understanding of each project's specific complexities. 

Engineering Geology

Applying geologic fundamentals and methods to characterize quantifiable properties of earth materials and processes, bridging the gap between structural geology and civil engineering practice. 

Geotechnical Engineering

Assessment of geotechnical properties of soils and rock prior to and during construction to generate relevant input data for design and construction of foundations for all types of structures in support of safe and sustainable design, enhancement of more efficient use of natural resources, waste management, and underground utilization. 

Markets Served

Our geology and geotechnical practice serve clients across a broad range of sectors, including Energy, Government, Industrial, Real Estate, Technology, Transportation, and Water. Project experience spans public and private utility owners, renewable energy (solar power, wind farms, green hydrogen), oil and gas, and dams and levees, as well as emerging areas such as carbon sequestration and hydrogen infrastructure. By integrating advanced field exploration techniques with decades of experience, we deliver high-quality, technically sound solutions that reduce uncertainty early, avoid costly surprises during construction, and support designs that are resilient and constructible. Our practice has completed thousands of projects involving geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations conducted in various terrains.
