Geotechnical Engineering Services
Geotechnical Engineering incorporates the evaluation of earth materials and development of engineering parameters of soils for design of civil structures. Mid Pacific Engineering’s staff of Registered Civil and Geotechnical Engineers and Certified Engineering Geologists have completed a wide range of public and private projects, including residential subdivisions, mid- to high-rise buildings, retail and commercial centers, parks, schools and public infrastructure projects.
Earthwork Construction Testing Services
Geotechnical Engineering services continue into the construction phase as Earthwork Observation and Testing. Backed by our engineering staff, our technicians observe and test earthwork construction, document the contractor’s compliance with the project plans and specifications and provide constructive participation with the construction team to correct deficiencies.
Construction Materials Engineering and Testing Services & Special Inspections
Construction Materials Engineering and Testing services encompasses testing, inspection and evaluation of the major building materials including concrete, steel and wood. Again our purpose is to document the contractor’s compliance with the project plans and specifications, and facilitate the correction of non-compliant items.
