GEOCONSULT performs geotechnical engineering analysis for a wide range of projects, which include highways, urban transit systems, bridges, buildings, dams, municipal and industrial facilities, residential and commercial developments, pipelines, cut-and-cover tunnels and landslides, among others. We provide geotechnical data reports, geotechnical engineering recommendations, construction specifications, consultation during construction and peer review.

Services
Our services cover a variety of technical disciplines:

• Bearing capacity
• Axial and lateral pile capacity
• Pile driveability
• Drilled shaft capacity
• Dewatering
• Stability of natural and man-made slopes
• Stability of permanent retaining structures
• Stability of temporary support systems
• Liquefaction analysis
• Seepage analysis
• Elastic and consolidation settlement analysis
• Stress and deformation analysis
• Seismic analysis
• Soil and rock anchors
• Soil nailing
• Instrumentation
• Ground improvements using wick drains with surcharge, and stone columns
• Slope stabilization using minipiles and passive piles.
• Groundwater control

Besides our commitment with providing our clients with a high quality engineering product, our engineering staff invest a significant amount of time in privately funded research and development in order to keep up with the state of the art on several specific areas such as:

• Finite element modeling under dynamic conditions
• Tomographic imaging based on seismic geophysics
• Limit equilibrium analysis
• Low strain soil characterization based on seismic CPT tests.
• Soil characterization based on critical state parameters
• Site specific seismic risk evaluation
