Geotechnical engineering, materials testing and special inspection — one firm, no gaps.
Soils reports that are buildable. Test results that arrive while you can still act on them. Cross-certified inspectors who cover more than one scope per trip. Based in Chino, working across six Southern California counties and metros.
Three services that are supposed to talk to each other
Most projects hire the soils engineer, the testing lab and the special inspector separately, then spend the schedule reconciling them. We do all three.
01
Geotechnical Engineering
Subsurface investigation, foundation recommendations and grading support — practical, buildable reports scoped to the site in front of us, not a template.
Preliminary soil and geology investigations
Foundation and pavement design recommendations
Liquefaction, settlement and expansive soil analysis
Field and laboratory testing of soils, concrete, masonry, aggregate and asphalt, coordinated directly with our geotechnical team so constructability questions get answered same-day.
Concrete sampling, cylinders, cores and flexural beams
Soil moisture-density and in-place density
Aggregate gradation, durability and specific gravity
Code-compliance inspection for concrete, masonry, structural steel, soils, asphalt, shotcrete and fireproofing — with cross-trained, multi-certified inspectors who can cover more than one scope per trip.
Reinforcing steel, post-tension and placement inspection
Structural steel welding and high-strength bolting
Nuclear density compaction testing and grading observation
You reach the person who can dispatch a technician. Small-firm structure means scheduling changes get handled the same day instead of routed through three offices.
One firm, three scopes
Geotechnical, materials testing and special inspection under one roof — one contract, one point of contact, and no gaps between the soils report and what happens in the field.
Cross-certified inspectors
Many of our inspectors hold multiple certifications, so a single trip can cover several required scopes. That is fewer mobilizations on your invoice.
Reports written to be used
Recommendations are practical and constructible. We write for the contractor who has to build it and the plan checker who has to approve it.
Where we work
Six counties and metros across Southern California
Our Chino office sits in the middle of the region's busiest grading market, which keeps drive times — and your mobilization costs — down.
