Geotechnical Engineering Design NYC Services in Manhattan, The Boroughs, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Long Island, and New Jersey - Kagaoan Engineering

Geotechnical engineering design requires the engineer to look at the natural rock formations and soil composition to figure out the best way to help developers use natural resources to his or her advantage. For example, a contractor building a new site next to a large hill might need a retaining wall. Here are some applications Kagaoan Engineering can help your project with geotechnical engineering: 

Our Geotechnical Engineers normally perform boring tests where we will drill out a cylindrical section of ground that helps us see the layers of sediment, rock, and minerals present in the soil. We use this information to help determine whether the soil and rock can support the structure. We routinely find ways to maximize the safety of the building in case of earthquakes, floods, or storms. Our Geotechnical Engineers also determine what the developer or contractor needs to do to build or adapt a property or change building plans to ensure that the structure and environment work together to meet state and city regulations along with developer needs.
