Consulting Services
At ProtechGeo, our geotechnical engineering team puts safety first in every project. Using the principles of soil mechanics, we can accurately evaluate the stability of natural slopes, cuts and fills, and man-made soil deposits to help you plan more effective foundation design, dams and retaining walls, and many other engineering features.
We provide recommendations on building materials and procedures based on the project requirements and local soil conditions. Our team ensures continuous monitoring of the integrity and stability of the surrounding environment as we observe, test, and report onsite considerations. Equipped with this comprehensive knowledge, our clients have saved significant time and costs, enabling them to better plan project schedules and budgets.
We provide expert evaluations, soil testing, and practical recommendations to ensure your construction project is safe, stable, and cost-efficient from the ground up.

Why is geotechnical engineering support important for my project?
The geology of a build site is often the most important aspect of a project to be considered…from the soil composition to the terrain and incline of the area itself. These factors will impact which materials are used and the procedures are followed, how well they will weather in the current environment, and steps that must be taken to ensure the safety of those involved with the construction initially as well as future users of the space or project.
Which regions do you offer your services in?
