Geotechnical Engineering

     Virtually every structure, regardless of size, requires geotechnical investigation to determine and evaluate subsurface conditions unique to each site. Samples of the site’s soil are taken and analyzed in a laboratory. The data gathered is then used to aid in the design and construction phases. 

​

     At A & L we have the equipment and staff necessary to take the physical samples and test them. This enables us to quickly and efficiently analyze and then interpret the data to provide a foundation and retaining wall design and construction recommendations.
