• Retaining wall design and stability analysis

• Seismic foundation design and retrofitting

• Waterproofing and drainage integration

Foundation Inspection & Assessment

Foundation integrity is critical to structural safety. Our team conducts thorough inspections and assessments to identify potential risks and provide actionable solutions. Services include:

• Visual inspection for cracks, settlement, and structural damage

• Evaluation of foundation movement and heaving

• Geotechnical soil analysis and testing

• Load testing of foundation systems

• GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) and subsurface evaluations

Waterproofing & Drainage Solutions

Effective moisture control is essential for long-term foundation health. We offer expert solutions to prevent water infiltration and manage groundwater effectively. Services include:

• Basement and foundation waterproofing design

• French drains, sump pump, and perimeter drainage systems

• Hydrostatic pressure mitigation strategies

• Crawl space moisture control and vapor barrier installation

Structural & Geotechnical Analysis
