Geotechnical site investigations help determine subsurface soil conditions, including stability, soil classification and formation changes. They also examine groundwater depth, movement and its impact on soil stability. Holocene’s geotechnical drilling services include, ASTM soil sampling, installing wells/piezometers and other instrumentation to provide accurate subsurface data.
This information enables the geotechnical professional to make recommendations that mitigate ground settlement, adverse soil movement or the presence of groundwater that can impact a construction project or existing structures.
