Getting Started With NewTech Engineering

Here’s how we typically support a geotechnical engineering project, from first call to final report.

1
Site Discovery

We review your site location, proposed construction, access constraints, and schedule so the scope fits your project, not a generic template.

2
Proposal & Quote

You receive a clear scope that outlines the recommended borings/testing, turnaround expectations, and deliverables for your geotechnical engineering needs.

3
Field Investigation

Our team completes borings, SPTs, sampling, and site observations as scheduled to support reliable geotechnical investigation services.

4
Laboratory Testing

Samples are tested to ASTM and applicable DOT standards to validate performance characteristics and strengthen decision-ready geotechnical data.

5
Analysis & Reporting

We translate findings into practical design and construction recommendations so your team can move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about what geotechnical services involve or how we work? These answers explain our process, timeline, and service area clearly.

What is geotechnical engineering?

Geotechnical engineering evaluates soil, rock, and groundwater behavior to support safe construction. It’s a core part of geotechnical and geological engineering, helping guide foundations, earthwork, pavements, retaining structures, and overall site stability.

What do geotechnical investigation services include?

Our geotechnical engineering typically include borings and sampling, field testing (like SPTs), lab analysis, engineering review, and a final report. The final deliverable summarizes the site conditions and provides recommendations your team can use for design and construction planning.

Are soil investigation services the same thing?

Soil investigation services are a major part of a geotechnical investigation. They focus on characterizing soil types, moisture conditions, density/compaction behavior, and strength, so the final recommendations are based on real performance data.

Do you provide geotechnical engineering testing?

Fieldwork takes 1–3 days; lab testing and report delivery typically complete within 1–2 weeks.
