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

While pouring concrete in cold weather can present some challenges, it is a common practice. When outside temperatures drop to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and below, the water in a concrete mixture can freeze, affecting the stability and strength of the concrete. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) publishes guidelines for properly
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
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
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
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), commonly known as “forever chemicals,” have gained attention for their persistence in the environment and potential risks to both human health and ecosystems. These man-made substances are used in various industries due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil, but they do not break
