- Schedule laboratory testing to evaluate soil types, behavior, and engineering properties.
- Evaluate geologic and seismic hazards, including fault rupture, rockfall, landslide, tsunami inundation, liquefaction, lateral spreading, and dry sand settlement.
- Analyze natural, fill, and reinforced slopes.
- Evaluate distressed structures and failed slopes and conduct mitigation analysis.
- Provide bearing capacity, earth pressures, and pavement section design.
- Provide analysis of and design recommendations for shallow and deep foundations.
- Provide analysis of and design parameters for temporary and permanent earth retention.
- Assist with providing grading and ground modification recommendations.
- Assist with preparation of proposals, schedules, and reports to achieve project goals within budgets.
- Provide assistance on geotechnical, forensic, and construction projects, including interfacing with clients, design professionals, and contractors.
- Assist with developing geotechnical spreadsheets.
