Architects, Engineers & Contractors
Velocity Engineering specializes in engineering services for architects, engineers and contractors.
We provide geotechnical and environmental services; roofing, pavement, and concrete restoration consulting; forensic investigation; as well as specialty testing and inspection services.
Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical Investigations
Geotechnical investigations typically use test borings to identify the subsurface conditions at the site. Our engineers then evaluate the results of the test borings and prepare a geoctechnical report that includes our evaluation and recommendations.
Test Borings
Foundation Analysis
Ground Improvement Analysis
Analysis and evaluation of the suitability of ground improvement methods including vibro-replacement, dynamic compaction, soil mixing, grouting, surcharging, and demucking.
Settlement Investigations
Sinkhole Evaluation
Geophysical Evaluation
Evaluation of subsurface soil conditions using geophysical methods such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), electric resistivity imaging (ERI), and seismic refraction.
Underpinning & Remediation Design
Vibration Consulting
Permeability & Exfiltration Testing
Testing to determine the rate at which water flows into or through the soil.
Laboratory Testing
Piles & Ground Improvement
Pre and Post Construction Structure Condition Surveys
Velocity performs inspections of existing structures to document their condition and existing damage and deterioration prior to nearby vibration-inducing construction activities being performed. Following the completion of such construction activities we can reinspect those structures to identify any new damage that may have occurred. Both video and still photo documentation can be provided.
Pile Installation Monitoring
Monitoring the installation of pile foundation systems and documenting installation parameters. Pile foundation types include driven piles, augered cast-in-place piles, micropiles, and helical piers.
Pile Load Testing
Analysis and evaluation of foundation options for structures including shallow foundations, spread footings, and pile foundation systems.
Ground Improvement Monitoring
Monitoring ground improvement operations to ensure they are performed in accordance with project specifications and documenting relevant parameters. Ground improvement methods include vibro-replacement, dynamic compaction, soil mixing, grouting, surcharging, and demucking.
Underpinning & Remediation Monitoring
Investigation into why a structure is experiencing excessive settlement and evaluation of remediation options.
Grouting Monitoring
Monitoring grouting processes to ensure they are performed in accordance with project specifications and documenting relevant parameters. Grouting methods include compaction grouting, permeation grouting, chemical grouting, and flow-able fill.
Vibration Monitoring
Velocity utilizes seismographs to measure and record vibrations levels caused by construction activities such as pile driving, vibratory compaction, demolition, and blasting.
Environmental Services
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) is performed to identify the presence or likely presence of contaminants on a property. This process includes obtaining and reviewing publicly available records for the site, performing site reconnaissance, interviewing those with knowledge of the site, and preparing a report.
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
If a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I ESA) identifies the presence or likely presence of contaminants on a property, then a Phase II ESA is performed to further evaluate if contamination is present and to what extent. Phase II ESA’s can include soil, groundwater, and/or surface water collection and testing.
Soil Contamination Testing
Obtaining soil samples in accordance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved procedures and delivering the samples to an analytical laboratory for contamination testing.
Groundwater and Surface Water Contamination Testing
Obtaining groundwater and/or surface water samples in accordance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved procedures and delivering the samples to an analytical laboratory for contamination testing.
Facility Evaluation & Maintenance
Concrete Restoration
Identifying and evaluationg areas of concrete deterioration and/or spalling in an existing building and determining the appropriate repair methodology.
Pavement & Roadway Consulting
Roof Consulting
Forensics & Building Sciences
Construction Defect Investigations
Investigating and documenting known or suspected construction defects. Typically performed in support of pending litigation.
Forensic Investigations
Expert Witness Testimony
Inspection Services
Velocity offers a wide range of inspection services, including: quality assurance / quality control, building, structural steel, welding, ADA, post-tensioning, underwater, and drone inspections.
Specialty Testing Services
Water Intrusion Investigation
