GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
Geotechnical engineering requires thorough knowledge of soil, rock and groundwater conditions in a local area. Conditions vary over relatively short geographic distances and can even vary widely across the same project site. Geotechnical engineering in Augusta is different from that of other areas in Georgia and South Carolina, in particular due to Augusta being located at the interface of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain geologic regions. Subsurface conditions in these two regions are quite different, but NOVA’s team of geotechnical engineers has decades of experience working in both of these geologic regions, as well as sites in the Augusta MSA. Soil, rock, and groundwater are unique, so the success of your project depends on people who know and can effectively analyze those conditions.
EVALUATING SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Successful project planning, design and construction relies heavily on the site’s subsurface conditions. Site preparation and grading, along with foundation, slab and pavement support conditions, represent some of the largest variables regarding construction cost on a project. Having an experienced local geotechnical engineer is critical to evaluating subsurface conditions properly and evaluating the most cost effective solutions for grading and structural support of your project. The fee for experienced geotechnical engineering on your project can pay itself back 10 or 100 fold in design and construction savings when you choose the right firm. NOVA Engineering’s team of geotechnical engineers is intimately familiar with the subsurface conditions facing projects in Augusta and the surrounding areas, and will apply that knowledge to the design and construction of your project.
We work with you from the due diligence stage, through planning and design as well as follow on inspection work through construction. Contact our geotechnical engineering team in our Augusta, GA office to begin discussing your project.
