The proper evaluation of a site’s surface and subsurface geology is imperative to provide input for designing compatible ground/structure interaction for residential to commercial to large-scale excavations and /or underground openings associated with resource recovery (mining) and civil projects.
The complex nature of the geologic environment and consideration of specific geologic formations present may produce significant development constraints and must be identified during planning and design stages of a project.
