Geotechnical Services

Members of our geotechnical staff are educated, certified and licensed in areas of soil science, geology, hydrogeology, and architectural and civil engineering disciplines. Regardless of whether the issue is slope stability, soils mapping, ground-water monitoring, well siting and installation, underground storage tank removal, or retaining-wall design, BAI personnel apply themselves in the field to get the job performed simply, efficiently and within budget.

Our capabilities include, but are not limited to:

                                                                                                                  

Site bearing-capacity analysis Sinkhole Evaluations Design, placement inspection, and in-situ testing of compacted soil barriers and engineered fills Shear-testing analysis of composite cap and liner systems Water well siting and installation Ground-water and surface water monitoring Hydrogeologic evaluations for potential groundwater contamination Sample collection from wells and surface waters Single- and multiple-well aquifer tests Data acquisition and analysis  Soil mapping and classification for permitting, construction materials, and wetlands Slope stability analysis Subsidence prediction Geologic hazard evaluation Contaminated site remediation Grading plans and earthwork quantity estimates and analysis Soil permeability testing Geologic drilling investigations Borrow source evaluations Soil-gas surveys Construction Quality Assurance plans for soils and ground-water investigations
