Soil & Geotechnical Engineer in Los Angeles Area
Testing, Investigation and Reports

Engineering Services and Reports

Our commitment, to our clients, is to provide expertise and experience, in the delivery of quality control/assurance, testing, inspection and engineering services. When the project, comes out of the ground, we will perform our duties, to maintain our reputation as valued team player.

Soil Testing

GeoMat engineers have been intimately involved with construction observation and testing services during earthwork operations, including placement and compaction of fills, over-excavation and re­construction of unstable slopes, earthen buttresses, installation of subdrains, placement of utility trench backfill, and placement of structural backfill behind retaining walls and foundations. A staff of trained technicians also perform nuclear and sand cone density testing, as necessary. The firm offers materials testing services for private and public clients, and provides these services using certified technicians and registered engineers.

Our engineers have provided consultations and recommendations for excavations, ground water control, wet weather grading techniques, and other project issues. We also have geotechnical engineering capabilities that include providing inspection of foundation excavation operations for shallow footings and deep piers, and performing observation and engineering consultations during pile driving operations, including wave equation analysis for prediction of pile performance. In the event of unusual conditions, our senior geotechnical engineers provide immediate consultation in order to keep the project on schedule and under budget.

Geotechnical Investigation

The subsurface investigations are performed using truck-mounted equipment. Subsurface work is logged by engineers or geologists. Testing, and report generation are done in-house, from our state-of-the art, Geotechnical Laboratory. The GeoMat's staff recommends the foundation criteria and suggest the cost effective foundation system for the projects. GeoMat services can be tailored to assist and/or meet our client's specific project requirements.

GeoMat provides in-house drilling services to support our engineering staff during geotechnical investigations. We can provide timely mobilization of a rig and crew to the project site seven days a week. We also utilize all terrain and limited access drill rigs which are run by technically trained crews.

Material Testing and Inspection

GeoMat's personnel has tested millions of yards of concrete, for all types of projects. These projects include buildings, roads, bridges tunnels, airports, utilities, and convention centers, to name a few. GeoMat is able to evaluate concrete in place, rebar placement and formwork, to ensure compliance with contract design and specification.
