GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
AGI has the equipment required to conduct the
necessary soil tests and to design projects with
multiple features. Our equipment includes jack hammers,
augers, compaction testers, nuclear moisture/density
gauges, and other equipment that can register accurate
readings of strength in soil while conducting subsurface
testing. We also have access to drilling rigs for the
drilling of pavement to discover subsurface conditions.
Our on-site laboratory provides efficiency, which allows
our clients to see quick results as well as enhancing
our ability to report on the prognosis of all projects.
This in turn lowers the costs for our clients, as we
better suit their needs with professional examinations
in a shorter time frame.
Geotechnical engineering services include:
- Subsurface exploration and foundation design investigations
- Site selection and feasibility studies
- Highway and rail exploration, tunnel inspections
- Slope stability studies
- Embankment and earth dam design
- Groundwater control and dewatering
- Percolation/Infiltration Testing
- Earth dam grouting
- Bridge foundation, settlement and consolidation analyses
- Shoring and retaining structure design studies
- Soil stabilization studies
- Sub grade evaluation and pavement design
- Development of special field and laboratory tests
AGI completed a geotechnical investigation for the Chicago O'Hare American Airlines Tower.
