Geotechnical Engineering <br />Where real property is concemed, conditions below grade are often as important as sur&ce conditions. <br />This is true especially when construction is contemplated. The most cost-effective way to ascertain <br />subsurface conditions is by obtaining Geotechnical services such as those provided by the professionals <br />at PSI. <br />A solid foundation is an essential prerequisite for a well-constructed building. A thorough subsurface <br />exploration can result in a more cost-effective foundation design and reduce construction delays (and <br />costs) caused by unforeseen conditions. Geotechnical conditions also play a crucial role in proper design <br />and construction of roadways, runways, bridges, dams, and other structures. <br />Geotechnical services commence with project planning and design, extend into construction, and may <br />continue through the in-service life of the structure. Through our extensive range of exploratory <br />techniques, we determine the behavior of soil, rock, and water, as natural phenomena and construction <br />activities affect these media. Our Geotechnical engineering services include: <br />•Preliminary Geotechnical Investigations <br />• Hydrogeological and Stormwater Engineering <br />• Roadway/'Transporta.tion Investigation & Design <br />•Modeling Service <br />• Site Preparation & Foundation Specifications <br />• Foundation Testing, Inspection & Evaluation <br />• Slope Stability and Embankment Evaluation <br />• Site Characterizations <br />• Design-Level Geotechnical Engineering <br />• Pavement Evaluation and Design <br />• Permitting Assistance <br />• Retaining Wall Engineering <br />• Retention Pond Analysis <br />Quality is an integral part of PSI's approach to Geotechnical works. Our Senior Engineers and Chief <br />Engineers have years of demonstrated experience and are the crux of our quality assurance program. <br />These Senior and Chief Engineers review all reports and documentation on each project to make certain <br />tha.t PSPs methodologies and technical approach and recommendations for design and constructioq <br />along with contractual agreements, are followed. In addition, field and laboratory personnel receive <br />intensive training from seasoned veterans. <br />Our clients benefit from the experience gained from the successful completion of tens of thousands of <br />subsurfice explorations performed by PST personnel on a wide variety of projects. Our experience <br />ranges from projects requiring a few borings to large projects requiring several hundred borings. Project <br />types include: <br />/ High Rises, Medium Rise to Single-Story Buildings <br />/ Commercial and Industrial Facilities <br />/ Health Care Facilities <br />/ Schools and Educational Facilities <br />/ Transportation Facilities <br />/ Public Facilities <br />/ Docks and Harbors <br />/ Communications and Transmission towers <br />/ Airports <br />/ Dams <br />Nv~ . <br />
