GEOCONSULT performs geotechnical engineering analysis for a wide range of projects, which include highways, urban transit systems, bridges, buildings, dams, municipal and industrial facilities, residential and commercial developments, pipelines, cut-and-cover tunnels and landslides, among others. We provide geotechnical data reports, geotechnical engineering recommendations, construction specifications, consultation during construction and peer review.

  • Pile driveability
  • Drilled shaft capacity
  • Dewatering
  • Stability of natural and man-made slopes
  • Stability of permanent retaining structures
  • Stability of temporary support systems
  • Liquefaction analysis
  • Seepage analysis
  • Elastic and consolidation settlement analysis
  • Stress and deformation analysis
  • Seismic analysis
  • Soil and rock anchors
  • Soil nailing
  • Instrumentation
  • Ground improvements using wick drains with surcharge, and stone columns
  • Slope stabilization using minipiles and passive piles.
  • Groundwater control

• Besides our commitment with providing our clients with a high quality engineering product, our engineering staff invest a significant amount of time in privately funded research and development in order to keep up with the state of the art on several specific areas such as:

  • Finite element modeling under dynamic conditions
  • Tomographic imaging based on seismic geophysics
  • Limit equilibrium analysis
  • Low strain soil characterization based on seismic CPT tests.
  • Soil characterization based on critical state parameters
  • Site specific seismic risk evaluation
