Geotechnical Engineering
GCI provides a broad range of geotechnical engineering expertise services, subsurface exploration and soil testing to assist clients in managing underground risk.
Thorough assessment of subsurface conditions and application of sound geotechnical engineering expertise principles provide clients practical and cost-effective solutions.
Early discovery avoids costly unknowns
The pragmatic analysis and planning methods utilized by GCI's geotechnical engineers early in the process helps clients manage costs and avoid costly overruns due to unanticipated conditions.
Schedule control
GCI owns and operates its own fleet of drill rigs and can accommodate time-sensitive project schedules and site-specific accessibility issues.
Complete laboratory testing:
GCI offers a complete range of soils, asphalt, and concrete testing services. GCI’s fully equipped laboratory participates in the AASHTO re:source laboratory assessment program, as well as the AASHTO re:source proficiency sample program for soil. GCI’s Accreditation certificate can be viewed here.
