The absence of an appropriate and complete subsurface investigation program to determine the subsoil and groundwater conditions can have a significantly negative effect on the geotechnical engineering recommendations, conclusions and designs provided for your project.  JMT’s professional geotechnical engineering staff has extensive experience with local geologic conditions, which aids in the development and implementation of an economical subsurface investigation program that is appropriate for the geologic conditions expected to be encountered and the project type to be constructed. 

Depending on the geology, magnitude and scope of the project, JMT has the experience to provide the following:

• Soil Test Borings
• Rock Coring
• Test Pits
• In-Situ Testing
  - Pressuremeter
  - Cone Penetrometer
  - Dilatometer
  - Permeability Testing
• Geophysical Studies
  - Seismic Refraction
  - Electrical Resistively Imaging
  - Refraction Micrometer Seismic Surveys
  - Micro-Gravity
• Groundwater Monitoring Wells and Vibrating Wire Piezometers
• Slope Inclinometer Installation and Monitoring
