Geotechnical Services
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a well-known historical structure and tourist attraction. If your building leans or settles excessively, chances are it will be well-known, but it won't be much of a tourist attraction.

The good news today is that settlement problems are entirely avoidable. Geo-Hydro can assist you on a wide range of projects including buildings, industrial facilities, machine foundations, roadways, earth retaining structures, bridges, earth dams, and numerous other structures.

We offer a variety of services including:

  • Soil test borings
  • Seismic refraction surveys
  • Percussion drilling
  • Hand auger borings
  • Dilatometer
  • Cone penetrometer
  • Failure investigations
  • Groundwater seepage evaluations
  • Electrical resistivity
  • Rock coring
  • Ground penetrating radar
  • Pressuremeter Testing
  • Test pits
  • Settlement analysis
  • Slope stability analysis
  • Pile foundation analysis

We've also developed many in-house engineering procedures and testing programs to meet the special needs of our clients, including a drilled pier analysis program, and several programs for laterally loaded foundations.
