Geotechnical Engineering
Investigation of subsurface soil conditions and evaluation of foundation system and remediation options.
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 geotechnical report that includes our evaluation and recommendations.
Test Borings
Velocity offers several types of test borings. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings are the most commonly used method of investigating subsurface soil and groundwater conditions. SPT borings are performed using a mechanized drill rig which can be mounted on a truck, ATV, tracked carrier, or a barge. If a drill rig is unable to access the site, shallow hand auger borings can be performed using manually operated equipment.
Foundation Analysis
Analysis and evaluation of foundation options for structures including shallow foundations, spread footings, and pile foundation systems.
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
Investigation of the presence of sinkhole activity or cause of an actual sinkhole and evaluation of remediation options.
