Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about how geotechnical and environmental services work? These answers explain our process, timeline, and service area clearly.
What is geotechnical engineering, and why do I need it?
Geotechnical engineering involves studying the soil, rock, and groundwater on your site to assess its suitability for construction. We evaluate factors like soil stability, bearing capacity, and drainage to help design safe and stable foundations.
When should I hire a geotechnical engineer?
It’s best to hire a geotechnical engineer early in the planning phase, before any excavation or foundation work begins. This helps avoid costly surprises and ensures your site is ready for construction.
How does Lexington’s local geology affect construction?
Lexington’s soil can vary from sandy loams to more clay-rich compositions, with some areas prone to moisture changes. Our team understands these local conditions and provides site-specific recommendations for safe construction.
Can you help if my project is near wetlands or flood zones?
Yes, we specialize in sites near wetlands or flood-prone areas. Our team will conduct the necessary assessments and offer recommendations to help mitigate any environmental risks, ensuring your project stays compliant.
What should I expect during the site evaluation process?
During the evaluation, we conduct a thorough site visit, soil sampling, and may monitor groundwater conditions. Our team then provides a detailed report with recommendations based on our findings.
What’s the difference between a geotechnical report and an environmental assessment?
A geotechnical report focuses on the soil and subsurface conditions of your site, while an environmental assessment looks for contamination, hazardous materials, or other environmental risks. Both are essential for a safe and successful project.
