Geotechnical
Geotechnical Engineering is a vital component to many civil engineering projects. It studies the behavior of soils under the pressure of forces applied by a structure, or natural elements, and determines the physical and chemical properties of the soils. You will most likely need a geotechnical engineer if your project involves any of the following:
- Building Foundation
- Retaining Wall
- Access Road and / or Parking Lot
- Landfill Site
- Temporary Excavation Support
- Earth Dams
- Clay Liners
- Slope Stability
