What Are the Different Soil Types, and Why Is Knowing the Type of Soil Important?
A study of soil types is an important issue in construction and geotechnical engineering. No matter the purpose of your foundation, the way of achieving the road, or the manner of managing stormwater, the nature of the soil under the project has a crucial effect on its success. That is why soil classification and testing […]
What Are Some Ground Improvement Methods?
In geotechnical engineering, ground treatment is used to make the ground suitable for construction projects of all kinds on many types of soils. These techniques are aimed at increasing the bearing capacity, minimizing settlement and soil instability, and creating a firm foundation for buildings. Earth Engineering Incorporated (EEI) evaluates different ground improvement methods to provide […]
How Soil Boring and Testing Enables Engineers to Design Suitable Foundations for Structures
When it comes to the development of a project, soil testing is a critical step in the process. It might seem like a simple, routine check, but engineers understand that a geotechnical investigation along with laboratory testing of soil is the foundation of any successful construction project. By performing a thorough geotechnical investigation, engineers […]
Groundwater Table Hydraulic Impact Assessments for Infiltration BMPs in NJ
Hydraulic Impact Assessment or Groundwater Mounding Analysis is the estimation of the effects of infiltrating stormwater beneath an infiltration feature. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulates the control of stormwater through the New Jersey Stormwater Management Rule. (N.J.A.C. 7:8) Revisions to this rule were enacted in 2020 which includes the hydraulic assessment […]
