To gather information on the physical properties of soil and rock at a project’s location, we incorporate geotechnical investigation techniques. The information that is gathered from these endeavors is then analyzed by engineering professionals to design earthworks and foundations for the project structures. This information is also extremely vital for the repair of earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions.
On a daily basis, we at CML develop customized geotechnical exploration programs to meet our clients needs. Our extensive knowledge of the regional subsurface conditions, site development methods and local methods of construction allow us to provide cost effective services based on proven experience in geotechnical exploration and testing programs incorporating soil and rock sampling, in-situ and laboratory testing.
