Geotechnical engineers at Summit Consulting have performed subsurface investigations and geotechnical evaluations for a large number of commercial, institutional, industrial and residential buildings, communication towers, and transportation structures. Senior geotechnical engineer, Don Dewey, PE has 18 years experience providing geotechnical engineering services in Central North Carolina. Our highly trained geotechnical and civil engineers have extensive knowledge of local soil conditions, shallow and deep foundation systems, pavement design, site preparation, and earthwork specifications.
Geotechnical investigation is critical to any successful construction project. Construction of any new structure requires an understanding of how the new construction will interact with subsurface materials and we are land development experts. The geotechnical engineering firm must understand the local geology and soil conditions, typical construction practices, and anticipate problems germane to the area. The correct firm must be selected to provide efficient site preparation and foundation design alternatives.
Summit provides the following Geotechnical Engineering Services:
· Subsurface Field Investigations
