Our Geotechnical Engineering Services in Florence
We offer a full range of geotechnical engineering services in Florence designed to support safe development and responsible land use.
Geotechnical Engineering & Soil Testing
Our geotechnical investigations evaluate subsurface soil conditions to determine whether your site can safely support construction.
We analyze soil strength, bearing capacity, settlement potential, and groundwater depth to provide essential data for foundation design, grading plans, and drainage systems.
These evaluations help ensure your project begins with a clear understanding of the ground conditions beneath the site.
Field & Laboratory Testing
Our field and laboratory testing services verify that construction materials meet required quality and safety standards.
We perform soil compaction testing, concrete strength testing, asphalt sampling, and other material evaluations using calibrated equipment and certified laboratories.
This testing helps reduce construction risks and ensures compliance with engineering specifications and building codes.
Special Inspections
Our certified inspectors perform special inspections required by building codes for many structural and commercial projects.
We verify that key structural components such as reinforced concrete, masonry, structural steel, and reinforcing systems are installed according to approved plans.
These inspections support construction quality while helping prevent delays related to code compliance.
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)
Our Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments help identify environmental concerns before development or property transactions move forward.
Phase I assessments include historical records review, regulatory database research, and site reconnaissance.
Phase II assessments involve soil and groundwater sampling with laboratory analysis when contamination risks are suspected.
These investigations help property owners manage environmental risk and meet due diligence requirements.
Asbestos Inspections
For renovation or demolition projects involving older structures, our licensed asbestos inspections identify asbestos-containing materials that may pose health risks.
We inspect insulation, flooring, piping, and ceiling materials commonly found in older buildings. Samples are analyzed using PLM or TEM laboratory methods according to AHERA standards.
These inspections help ensure regulatory compliance and safe project execution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about how geotechnical and environmental services work in Charleston? These answers will explain our process, timeline, and service areas clearly.
Why is geotechnical engineering important before construction?
Geotechnical engineering evaluates soil and groundwater conditions to ensure foundations are designed safely and construction risks are minimized.
When should geotechnical testing be performed?
Geotechnical investigations should be completed early in the planning phase before excavation or foundation design begins.
How do Florence soil conditions affect construction?
Florence’s Coastal Plain soils may include sandy layers, clay deposits, and shallow groundwater, which can influence foundation stability and drainage design.
Can geotechnical engineers evaluate sites near wetlands or flood-prone areas?
Yes. Geotechnical investigations can assess soil stability, groundwater conditions, and drainage performance for sites near wetlands or flood-prone areas.
What happens during a geotechnical site investigation?
A typical investigation includes soil borings, Standard Penetration Tests (SPTs), sample collection, laboratory analysis, and engineering recommendations.
