You’re about to sign the paperwork on a property acquisition that could define the next chapter of your business. The location is perfect, the price is right, and everything seems straightforward. Then someone mentions environmental liability, and suddenly you’re wondering what’s buried beneath that parking lot. One underground storage tank
As regulatory requirements for stormwater management continue to increase, developers and engineers are seeking sustainable, effective methods to control runoff. The key is to mimic nature by promoting infiltration allowing water to soak into the ground rather than directing it to storm sewers. Infiltration basins are a critical component of
You walk the property with your architect, talking about square footage and ceiling heights and where the sun hits in the afternoon. Everything feels exciting and possible. Then someone mentions foundations and suddenly the conversation shifts to soil borings and bearing capacity and load transfer mechanisms. Your eyes start to
What if the secret to slashing construction costs by up to 40% was literally right beneath your feet? While most project managers focus on above-ground factors like labor rates and material prices, the greatest opportunities for savings and risk reduction often lie hidden in the soil itself. Every year, construction
Have you ever placed a heavy piece of furniture on soft ground only to watch it sink a little over time? Imagine that happening under a brand new building. What sounds simple can become a slow-motion structural failure, and all because the soil beneath it wasn’t properly prepared. Soil compaction
What happens when decades of engineering expertise meet a passion for problem-solving and a vision for community growth? At Earth Engineering, we believe the result is transformational leadership that drives real results. That’s exactly what we see in Joe Mina, our newly-appointed Director of the Central PA division. His track
Before you know it, it’s far too late. It’s no secret that sinkholes are a silent threat, often forming with little warning and causing significant damage to homes, infrastructure, and the environment. In regions with karst geology where soluble rocks like limestone and dolomite are common, the risk is especially
In geotechnical engineering, innovation isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. When it comes to modern construction challenges, geosynthetics have changed the game. These engineered materials may not always be visible once the work is done, but their impact is undeniable. At Earth Engineering, we see geosynthetics as more than just products.
There’s a reason why many industrial buildings such as warehouses and factories are known for such smooth, level floors. It’s the result of careful planning, engineering, and a little thing called floor flatness testing. Beyond the obvious need for smooth surfaces in these industrial settings to maintain safe and efficient
Is your home or business experiencing uneven floors, cracks in the walls, or sinking concrete? Foundation and slab settlement can cause serious structural problems and should be attended to right away. The last thing you want is for it to continue to get worse. At Earth Engineering Inc. (EEI), we
