Every successful construction project, whether residential or commercial, begins with a strong and stable foundation. Ensuring that the soil and other on-site materials meet the necessary standards is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of the finished building. After all, a foundation that lacks stability can compromise the entire project—so we make sure to build from the ground up with confidence.
At CMT, based in Houston, we recognize the importance of a thorough site assessment to move your project smoothly from development to construction. That’s why our dedicated geotechnical engineering team specializes in analyzing the properties and conditions of soil and rock on-site, providing the critical insights needed to ensure a solid foundation for your project.
Geotechnical engineering, also known as geotechnics, focuses on understanding the behavior of soil and rock from an engineering perspective. It also involves assessing the stability of slopes and evaluating risks such as rockfalls, landslides, and avalanches.
As a fully qualified and experienced geotechnical engineering firm, much of our work involves testing the deformation and strength of soil. We work with materials like rock, sand, silt, clay, and even snow, all of which play a critical role in ensuring the stability and safety of construction projects.
If you’re planning a construction project, you may wonder whether geotechnical engineering is a necessary step or if skipping it could help reduce overall costs. At CMT, we strongly advise against overlooking this critical phase.
Experience has shown that when construction failures occur, issues with the ground are often the root cause. A thorough geotechnical investigation is the most effective way to prevent problems that could jeopardize both safety and the success of your project. Investing in geotechnical engineering early on helps mitigate risks, ensuring a stable foundation and long-term structural integrity.
At CMT, safety is one of our core values. If you’re looking for a trusted team to handle the geotechnical engineering aspect of your construction project, look no further. We utilize two primary testing methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of your site’s soil composition, ensuring its safety and viability for construction.
Our first method involves on-site soil testing using advanced drilling and sampling techniques. With a diverse range of geophysical exploration tools at our disposal, we adhere to industry best practices, employing proven equipment and processes that prioritize accuracy and safety.
Additionally, we conduct high-precision geotechnical laboratory testing to analyze the samples collected on-site. This testing allows us to assess soil quality and stability, enabling us to generate detailed reports outlining essential site preparation requirements, including foundation recommendations and pavement considerations.
