Geotechnical engineering

United Consulting’s geotechnical engineering services include site investigations, design recommendations, and project oversight, which is supported by our state-of-the-art testing facility. Our laboratory is certified by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) along with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), and the Certification Accreditation Board (CAB) of Georgia.
During the site assessment phase, United Consulting’s licensed engineers gather comprehensive geotechnical data that provides customized solutions in designing reliable and economic foundations, retaining walls, tunnels, and other infrastructure, all with a focus on long-term performance. By mitigating risks from natural hazards, such as landslides, earthquakes, liquefaction, reactive soils and soil erosion, we ensure safe and efficient development of buildings, roads, and critical infrastructure.
United Consulting implements stringent quality control measures to effectively manage construction delays, cost overruns, safety concerns, and unforeseen challenges. Our experienced geotechnical engineers understand the industry’s Standard of Care while also having extensive knowledge of federal and state regulations, which ensures that all projects comply with the highest industry standards.
