Skip to main navigation Markets Services About Portfolio Careers Contact Search History Schnabel pioneered the use of technology and foundation systems throughout the U.S. The opening of our first branch office in Richmond, Virginia, in 1974 began a groundswell of change for our firm, including a foray into the industrial and waterfront markets, initiated by the company that would become our most long-standing client — Newport News Shipbuilding. Over decades, Schnabel opened offices throughout the East Coast, continuing to provide geotechnical and environmental engineering services as well as construction observation and testing. New offices brought new talent and new services. Beginning in the 1990s and continuing through today, Schnabel has added complementary services of dam and tunnel engineering, mining, water resources, and water rights specialties to our portfolio through the addition of companies such as Dan McGill & Associates, Inc., Applied Geoscience & Engineering, Inc., Lachel & Associates, Inc., Geo/Environmental Services, Inc., and, most recently, Deere and Ault Consultants, Inc., as we continue to expand our expertise and grow our nationwide reputation. The expansion also helped us achieve a coast-to-coast geographic footprint, with offices most recently opening in Seattle, Washington; Boise, Idaho; Denver and Longmont, Colorado; and Austin, Texas.
