CEC offers comprehensive geotechnical engineering services to planners, public agencies, industry, architects, developers, and contractors.
CEC supports the client’s geotechnical needs throughout a project – from assistance with site selection through construction. As a full-service consulting firm, CEC geotechnical engineers work in-house with other disciplines during projects. This results in a more comprehensive approach to project planning and early identification of geotechnical-related issues. It also results in a more cost-effective approach to site development.
During the site selection or the planning phase of a project, CEC offers the following services:
- Geotechnical Desktop Survey
- Site Reconnaissance
- Geo-Hazard Assessment
As a project progresses, CEC geotechnical engineers support conceptual designs and conduct investigations to assess development and construction issues. Projects include:
- Commercial and Residential Buildings
- Industrial and Office Park Developments
- Industrial Facilities
- Dams
During the design phase, CEC geotechnical engineers perform analyses, prepare reports, and support the preparation of drawings and specifications. Analyses and designs performed include:
- Earthwork Design and Recommendations
- Foundation Analysis and Design
- Grouting and Ground Improvement Design
- Landslide Investigation and Stabilization
- Mine Subsidence Investigations, Risk Assessments, and Stabilization
- Pavement Analysis and Design
- Seepage Analyses
