As part of the geotechnical investigation package we offer, A.M. Geoconsult conducts surface exploration and/or subsurface exploration at project sites using advanced and sturdy equipment. Methods are carefully performed by experienced technicians in strict conformity with the client’s schedule to obtain soil samples and/or various data about surface and subsurface conditions. These samples and data are then analyzed to address critical geotechnical/geological issues such as the implications of active fault location to the proposed construction, moisture content and depth of ground water, geologic history and depth of bedrock, secondary effects of liquefaction and seismic events, soil corrosivity, presence of unsuitable soils, and excavation stability.

Some of the field exploration services we conduct include:

• Test Boring and Core Drilling
• Angle Drilling
• Deep Well Drilling
• Low Clearance Drilling
• Offshore Drilling
• Electrical Resistivity and Electromagnetic Surveying
• Seismic Reflection and Refraction Profiling
• Handheld Vane Shear
• Grouting and Pressure Grouting
• Wash Boring
• Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split-Barrel Sampling
• Thin-Walled Tube Sampling (Undisturbed Sampling)
• Rock Core Drilling and Sampling
• Ground Water Elevation
• Test Pit Sampling
• Auger Hole Sampling
• Borrow Source Sampling
• Sampling of Aggregates
