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
