Geotechnical Engineering – Involves the investigation, analysis, evaluation, and engineering recommendations of earth materials.  This typical involves soil, rock, and groundwater and their interaction with earth retention systems, structural foundations, and other civil engineering works.  Geotechnical engineering also requires knowledge of engineering principles such as statistics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, behavior of engineering material, an understanding of construction techniques and the performance of civil engineering works influenced by earth materials.  At Basilico Engineering, Inc. we offer geotechnical engineering services such as:

1)       Subsurface Explorations (drilling, test pits, trenches).

2)       Analysis of Data & Engineering Computations.

3)   Shallow Foundation – Spread footing, Strip footing, Combined footing, Conventional slab on grade, Mat foundation, Raised wood floor.

4) Deep Foundations – Driven Piles; other piles ex. bore piles, cost-in-place piles, composite piles; Piers; Caissons; Mat or Raff Foundations; Basement – type foundation.

5) Settlements

6) Expansive Soils

7) Slope Stability

8) Retaining Walls

8) Levees

9) Flood Damages

10) Geotechnical Reports
