It is essential that the exploration program be planned based on the local geologic conditions, the potential environmental factors, the geotechnical engineer’s experience, and the intended use of the property. Our firm provides geotechnical recommendations that result in cost-effective site development and foundation design/construction, and a reduced likelihood of construction delays caused by unforeseen conditions. NOVA’s laboratories meet the requirements of ASTM E-329, D-3666 and C-1077. We are participants in the AMRL Sample Reference Proficiency Programs administered by AASHTO and CCRL.
