Why do I need a subsurface exploration?

A proper subsurface exploration is vital to the success of any project.  Knowing the soil and groundwater conditions that exist at your site is very important.  When you place a load (i.e. a structure) on the soil, for example, it causes a stress in the soil beneath the load, and the geotechnical engineer will use the data obtained in the subsurface exploration to determine how this will influence the structure.  A subsurface exploration can also determine if it is economically feasible to build on a piece of property.  We work together with Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers and Architects on a variety of projects.
