Our Services

Terracon offers a wide range of geotechnical engineering services including site investigations, foundation design, slope stability analysis, earthworks design and construction quality assurance (CQA), environmental assessments (Phase I-III), hydrogeological studies as well as materials testing services such as concrete testing (strength & durability), asphalt testing (density & compaction) soil classification tests among others.

Site Investigations: We conduct site investigations to determine the subsurface conditions at your project site. This includes drilling boreholes or test pits to collect soil samples for laboratory analysis. We also perform in-situ tests such as Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) or Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) which provide valuable information about soil properties without disturbing the ground.

Foundation Design: Our experienced engineers use state-of-the-art software tools to design foundations that are safe and efficient for your project's specific requirements. We consider factors such as soil type/properties; loading conditions; seismicity; groundwater levels among others when designing foundations.

Slope Stability Analysis: Slope stability analysis is critical in determining whether slopes will remain stable under various loading conditions or if they require stabilization measures like retaining walls or slope reinforcement techniques like rock bolts or shotcrete. Our team of geotechnical engineers uses advanced software tools to analyze slope stability and recommend appropriate stabilization measures.

Earthworks Design and Construction Quality Assurance (CQA): We provide earthworks design services that ensure your project's earthworks are designed to meet the required specifications. We also offer construction quality assurance (CQA) services to ensure that the earthworks are constructed according to the design specifications.

Environmental Assessments: Terracon provides environmental assessments for projects ranging from small-scale developments to large industrial facilities. Our environmental assessments include Phase I, II, and III Environmental Site Assessments (ESA), which identify potential environmental liabilities associated with a property or site.

Hydrogeological Studies: Hydrogeological studies involve assessing groundwater resources, identifying potential sources of contamination, and evaluating the impact of proposed developments on groundwater resources. Our hydrogeologists use advanced techniques such as pumping tests, tracer tests among others in conducting these studies.

Materials Testing Services: Terracon offers materials testing services including concrete testing (strength & durability), asphalt testing (density & compaction) soil classification tests among others. These tests help ensure that materials used in construction meet required standards for strength and durability.
