Geotechnical Engineering Services

Few projects have as many variables as a construction project. Weather, zoning, codes, costs—and even soil conditions have to be considered.

A recognized leader in geotechnical engineering and testing services, Stork Materials Technology offers comprehensive analytical and consultative support for a variety of applications, including program development, site reconnaissance, field exploration, laboratory testing, geotechnical evaluation, construction quality control, and testing.

Whether performed in one of our modern laboratories or onsite, Stork offers a comprehensive suite of geotechnical engineering services, supporting projects ranging in complexity from routine classifications to triaxial shear and consolidation tests.

Our experienced teams of registered engineers are skilled, equipped, and prepared to provide the following geotechnical engineering services:

Foundation Design Stork engineers design parameters and settlement analyses for shallow spread footings, mat foundations, driven piles, drilled piers (caissons), auger cast piling, and pressure injected footings

Settlement and Subsidence Analysis We analyze loose granular deposits for liquefaction potential, calculate the consolidation settlement in soft clay and organic deposits under new earth embankment or area fill

Pavement Design Stork can analyze pavement thickness, surface, and subsurface drainage conditions for local roads, highways, airports, railroad crossings, and rail beds

Pile Foundation Design and Construction Our engineers consult in the design and inspection of pile foundation systems utilizing traditional methods as well as newer technologies, including the use of pile integrity testing equipment

Retaining Structures We can help with designing parameters for earth retaining structures, including cantilever systems, tied-back walls, and gravity retaining walls

Land Development  We consult on dewatering and permanent drainage systems, including input on soil and rock permeability, errodability, and stability
