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.
