Assuring a solid foundation for all construction projects

We specialize in identifying and solving complex geotechnical issues. Our cost-effective solutions mitigate construction challenges and make good business sense. Our goal is to balance initial construction capital costs and the on-going operating costs over the life of the proposed structure or transportation system.

  • HWS geotechnical services characterize soil, rock, and groundwater conditions at proposed construction sites and along transportation corridors.
  • Our geotechnical analysis provides the data needed to engineer the appropriate foundations for airports, highways, railroads, buildings, dams, and all other structures.
  • Our proactive approach to construction material design can:

- Reduce or eliminate unforeseen   construction delays
- Reduce overall construction costs
- Promote continuous service from the   structure or transportation system   once it is in operation

HWS geotechnical engineering and engineering geology services include:

  • Soil and foundation engineering
  • Pavement design
  • Earth structure design
  • Comprehensive laboratory testing accredited by A2LA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
  • Construction observation and materials testing by NICET and ACI accredited technicians
  • Special expertise in geotechnical solutions for railroad engineering
  • Subsurface exploration to assess soil, rock, and groundwater conditions

Since 1944, we've proven time and again that our experienced, insightful geotechnical analysis plays a key role in keeping your project on schedule and on budget.
