Introduction: When it comes to construction, a solid foundation is key to ensuring the longevity and safety of any structure. That’s where geotechnical testing comes into play. By analyzing the soil and subsurface conditions, geotechnical testing helps engineers design safer, more reliable foundations. At Rocky Mountain QC, we specialize in geotechnical testing to give your project the strongest possible start.

What Is Geotechnical Testing? Geotechnical testing is the study of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions at a construction site. By examining the properties of the ground, we can determine the best foundation type, identify potential risks, and prevent future complications.

Key Geotechnical Testing Services:

Oil Classification: Understanding the composition, texture, and moisture content of soil to ensure it can support your structure.

Pavement Design: Testing the suitability of soil for roadways and infrastructure.

Subsurface Exploration: Drilling and sampling to assess soil behavior and identify any geohazards.

Foundation Recommendations: Offering insights into the most suitable foundation options based on soil conditions.

Why It’s Important: Conducting geotechnical testing early in the construction process helps prevent costly delays and foundation issues down the road. It ensures that your project is built on solid ground, with the necessary support for both short-term stability and long-term durability.
