Construction can often be a difficult industry to navigate. On one hand, you want to make sure that you’re being as cost-effective as possible while simultaneously trying to make sure that projects are moving along at a quick pace. On the other hand, you know that there’s no margin for
The importance of geotechnical and environmental considerations for your construction and development project cannot be overstated. A geotechnical engineering consultant ensures the stability and integrity of your structures. The environmental consultant working on your project manages the environmental risks associated with your project and analyzes important pieces of environmental data.
Geotechnical drilling specialists are often needed in a construction project’s early planning stages. Their expertise helps to identify potential ground-related problems that could occur long after the project has concluded. Earth Engineering has a team of specialists ready to provide data and recommendations for geotechnical construction in New Jersey and
Retaining walls are essential structures that are used when there is a significant change in grading required over a short distance. They help prevent soil erosion and hold back earth. In geology, retaining walls are commonly used to prevent slope failures and landslides. They are also used to create usable
Sinkholes are a naturally occurring feature that can form in areas underlain by carbonate geology. They can be destructive and dangerous, and expensive to repair. For those construction managers looking to build in areas underlain by carbonate geology, it is always important to determine if sinkholes are present prior to
Understanding the complexities of your construction project can be a struggle when certain problems arise. Geotechnical services can give you insight into the proper foundation that your project needs, the appropriate retention wall to build, earthworks, rock excavation, and groundwater control. Environmental services can help reduce the risks of environmental
When you are planning a new construction project, many different steps need to be taken to ensure that your building is safe, functional, and up to code. Once a location is chosen for a new project, there are a variety of tests that need to be run on materials and
When it comes to hiring a special inspection agency to assist with your construction builds, traditional construction companies have found this relationship to be beneficial and an important partnership for success. Establishing this partnership gives your company insight into changes that may affect your work and an unbiased assessment of
Before a building is constructed, a process must be followed to assess the site. Engineers provide various preliminary planning services to ensure that projects proceed smoothly and efficiently. The preconstruction phase of a project defines the parameters of the building project, bringing to light any possible problems or issues that
Before the construction of any project begins, the contractor must have a good understanding of the foundation system and the underlying soil conditions. As part of the preconstruction process, the engineers will perform a variety of tests and investigations to assess the ground conditions as well as any subsurface conditions
