Since every structure starts from the
ground up, foundation and earthwork
design is a key element in all projects.
The earthwork phase of construction
projects often has the highest risk of
unknowns. Therefore,
it has potential for substantial extra
costs and overruns during construction
The geotechnical engineer has the key
role not only in identifying earthwork
considerations but also in developing
the correct approaches. At Atlantic
Geotechnical Services, Inc., our
staff includes registered engineers with
advanced degrees in the field of soil
mechanics and foundation design.
These engineers provide comprehensive
geotechnical engineering consulting and
design services to architects,
engineers, developers, industrial and
commercial companies, government
agencies, contractors, and others
By combining the technical knowledge
and practical experience of the
geotechnical engineer with appropriate
subsurface sampling and testing
procedures and equipment, Atlantic
