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
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
Concrete construction in hot weather has unique problems that can impact the end product’s quality and longevity. At Earth Engineering Inc., we understand the key aspects to consider and the tactics to execute to ensure that concrete projects are completed successfully, even in extreme temperatures. Earth Engineering Inc. is a
When you’re about to build a structure for your business, there are some steps you’ll need to take first. You want to make sure that you have a stable foundation so that your building(s) and the rest of your property will be safe and in peak condition for use for
Geotechnical engineers play a vital role when it comes to the success of a construction project plan. If you need expert services to ensure that your land is ready for construction, you need a geotechnical engineer on the project! An Overview of the Geotechnical Engineer Position Geotechnical engineers address the
Construction and infrastructure development needs the expertise of a geotechnical engineer. Behind every project is a complex network of soil mechanics, geological assessments, and structural analyses. Geotechnical engineers are responsible for ensuring the stability, safety, and longevity of our built environment. Let’s learn more about the role of geotechnical engineers
When a property is involved in a real estate transaction, especially if it’s going to be used for commercial purposes, it’s necessary to have professionals come in to determine the condition of the land. This includes at least a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, but it also can include a
