Geotechnical Division
For over 30 years, our engineers and technicians have worked closely with our clients to provide creative and cost-effective geotechnical solutions. Maritime Testing has developed local and regional expertise of subsurface conditions that is fundamental to planning and executing borehole and test pit geotechnical investigations. Projects typically are carried out using an integrated team of professionals and technicians, which permits efficiencies in the work and in our clients' management requirements. By adding value to a project, we are able to limit our clients risk exposure and ensure cost-effectiveness and innovation.
Our geotechnical expertise is used in a wide range of markets to determine the subsurface conditions and provide design input for site development, building construction and earthworks. Geotechnical services and investigations are provided to projects ranging from small residential dwellings to multi-storey high rise buildings. Typical projects include landfills, major infrastructure and urban developments, pipelines and utilities, road, rail and urban transit, and tunnels and underground storage facilities.
Geotechnical engineering provided by Maritime Testing involves a range of technical disciplines including soil mechanics, foundation engineering, pavement and materials engineering, environmental assessment and remediation, hydrogeology and risk assessment.Services Offered
