GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

One of our major areas of specialization geotechnical engineering. The services we offer in this field are the following:

This aspect of our work involves drilling through soils and soft rock and coring through hard rock for laboratory analyses. This study is performed for various types of projects ranging from residential and commercial buildings to highways, bridges, dams, airports, rail roads to mention but a few.
landslide Evaluation and Remediation

1. Landslide: The greater Cincinnati area is one of the few regions in the United States noted for landslide. Hundreds of landslide cases occur each year. Our firm is one of the leading experts in the field of landslide investigating and remediation. Our company has been involved in more than 20 major cases of landslides in the region. We have investigated and provide remedial design for many of these cases, which have effectively corrected the landslide situations. A good example is a drilled pier retaining wall will tie back used in picture on the left to correct the slide behind a residence at Liberty-Keuter Road, Lebanon, Ohio.
2. Slope Stability Analysis: We have great expertise in slope stability analysis. We have several soft ware programs, including Stedwin and GSTABl 7 developed in collaboration with Purdue University. We have performed slope stability analysis for several cut slopes, excavation side slopes for sewers, deep basement

Retain Wall Analysis And Design: We have great expertise in the analysis and design of various types of retaining walls and retention systems including 1) drilled pier retaining walls, sheet pile walls, soldier pile walls, modular walls including Allan block, Loffelstein and Keystone walls. A "combo" retaining wall system combining modular construction with drilled pier support system.
