Installation Monitoring & Engineering Oversight
Gulf Coast construction and development projects are large endeavors. Make sure they are done right the first time with installation monitoring and engineering oversight from GeoCon. Let our geotechnical engineers monitor your project and ensure that your project will stand the test of time.
Importance of Installation Monitoring and Engineering Oversight
The old carpenter adage of always measuring twice and cutting once is even more applicable to coastal development and building projects. Developers and contractors are skilled professionals, but they are not geotechnical engineers. The best results are achieved when we work together. If you want to make sure that pilings will hold, foundations won’t crack, and roads won’t buckle, contact the engineering experts at GeoCon.
You do not have to be a geologist in order to work on a construction project. However, you do need an expert level understanding of geology if you want your construction project to survive along the Gulf Coast. Geotechnical engineering consulting and installation monitoring makes sure that the ground beneath your feet can withstand the forces of your project.
The geological history of the Gulf Coast makes any construction or development project a challenge for even the most experienced builders. For example, uneven subsurface deposits and structures can make laying foundations, putting in pilings, or even building roads nearly impossible. It is common for subsurface conditions in the Gulf Coast to have multiple layers of varying substances with different density and stability. That means you think you are installing a piling into firm ground. However, it is possible that the firm ground you have found only extends for a couple of feet, and might even be on top of soft clays. One mistake like this could put your entire project in jeopardy. Misjudging the geological makeup of the ground can cost you money, can cost you time, and can even cost someone their life.
The Gulf Coast Solution for Installation Monitoring & Engineering Oversight
GeoCon Engineering prides itself on being experienced in all aspects of coastal building and development. Our geotechnical engineers can handle any project. We can help your project from inception to final inspection. Do not wait until the final walk-through or the ribbon cutting to find out there is a flaw in the plan or a problem with the construction materials. Testing should be completed throughout the process and not just at the end. The best way to ensure that all aspects of your Gulf Coast building project are done right the first time is to have an engineer on hand. There will never be a problem in sight, as long as you have our GeoCon engineers onsite. If you want confidence in your construction, contact GeoCon Engineering.
