We provide geotechnical services for industrial, commercial and residential developments; buildings and high rises; industrial sites (Oil & Gas and Manufacturing) to guide our clients from investigation through innovative design and construction. We provide concrete, aggregate and asphalt mix designs & reviews; pile monitoring (driven steel, belled, compacto and CFA); footing inspections; nondestructive concrete testing. Our partnership allows us to have access to CCIL Approved Laboratory (Field and mobile). We provide soil, aggregate, concrete and asphalt testing; We also provide compaction testing and other type of field monitoring.
A crucial diligence process that shall precede the purchase of land and/or building is conducting thorough Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs). The results of ESAs greatly help in the decision-making process and also when planning for financing. Generally, there are three phases for conducting ESAs:
Brown-fields are abandoned or underutilized sites where their past activities have caused environmental soil or groundwater contamination. Redevelopment brown-fields can create new business opportunities and jobs, accelerate remediation technology innovation, and increase property values and tax revenues. Owners or potential buyers of brown-fields should consider the following strategies to efficiently plan for redevelopment:

- Participated in a mix design study with Hanson Concrete as requested for the University of Texas to evaluate suitable concrete mixes for construction of a new nursing school building in the Medical Center in Houston, Texas. Concrete with flyash concentrations between 30% and 65% off the cementitious content were tested with two admixtures at total cementitious contents between 4.75 and 9.25 sacks/cubic yard. The nursing school consists of eight-story cast in place concrete building on a mat foundation. An overall goal of this project was to use 50% flyash, as a percent of the total cementitious material, for all concrete placed on this project. Additional duties included managing and supervising of testing of all the fill material, reinforcing steel inspection, concrete testing, batch plant control, thermocouple, structural steel inspection for this project. Also monitored budget for all the material testing for this project, report preparation, review reports, recommended the fill that was placed over the mat foundation.
