Our geotechnical technicians and geologists have extensive expertise to assist owners, developers, architects, and civil designers with understanding the sub-surface conditions that affect their site and project.
Our knowledge and experience with all types of soils and rock formations allows us to provide concise and cost effective strategies and recommendations for building on the subsurface conditions prevalent on a project site. Particularly in western North Carolina we are known for solving construction challenges on rock formations and unsuitable soils. Engineering solutions for our investigative findings are provided by Alpha Engineering Services, P.A.
