Geotechnical Engineering Services

One of the most fundamental aspects of any development project is understanding the subsurface characteristics of the site, including the composition of its soil and rock. Intertek's Geotechnical Engineering Services provide insights that enable safer, more efficient construction.

• Subsurface Investigations & Exploration: Our geotechnical engineers assess soil and geological conditions to identify potential risks and optimize foundation design. Using a combination of non-intrusive methods, such as seismic refraction and ground-penetrating radar, alongside traditional sampling techniques, we create a detailed site profile to guide the project effectively.
• Foundation Design & Analysis: Foundations are engineered systems that transfer and balance structural loads across a building site and into the soil and rock below. Intertek's geotechnical engineers evaluate the subsurface conditions against the load-bearing requirements using various subsurface exploration methods, geotechnical studies, and load testing and analysis. We specialize in shallow and deep foundations, retaining walls, site preparation, and ground improvement.

Construction Materials Testing and Inspection Services

Intertek's Construction Materials Testing and Inspection Services verify that construction projects' materials and installation processes meet the owner's expectations and regulatory requirements and standards set by industry associations and governing bodies.

We operate our own materials testing laboratories, which hold accreditations from organizations such as the AASHTO Accreditation Program, A2LA, and various state departments of transportation, among others. As a leader in the field, we perform more types of materials testing than any other independent commercial laboratory testing firm.
