Engineering geology consulting services
We provide collaborative, practical solutions for geohazards — whether you see them coming or they take you by surprise.
Sometimes you get to plan for hazards like earthquakes, landslides, floods, sea-level rise impacts, or wildfires, and sometimes you can only respond to them as quickly and safely as possible. Or maybe regulators have told you to evaluate or study a hazard, but you don’t know how to move forward. No matter what situation you face, the deep experience of our engineering geology team means we can expertly guide you through siting, design, construction, and maintenance over the lifetime of your project. Our long-term clients can attest to our focus on pragmatic geotechnical solutions, built on a strong understanding of a site’s geologic considerations. We’re also trusted by regulators and respected by contractors for bringing clear, buildable plans to the job site.
Municipalities, utilities, water districts, public works agencies, real estate developers, and other public and private clients trust our geological consulting firm to plan, design, and execute projects, as well as to respond to emergencies. We’re often their first call after disaster strikes, whether they need to reopen a road quickly or plan for longer-term rebuilding. No matter how complex the project, clients rely on our engineering geology consulting services team to communicate with government agencies, emergency responders, private landowners, and even our competitors to reach a solution that’s best for them — always our top priority.

An integrated team with wide-ranging expertise
Our engineering geology services team includes licensed engineering geologists, professional and registered geologists, geophysicists, and hydrogeologists. As needed for your project, we pull in specialists that range from geotechnical engineers and geophysicists to LiDAR, and data visualization experts to licensed unmanned aerial system (drone) pilots. With the right combination of experts, we develop resilient designs, manage risks, and allocate scarce assets. When an event strikes, we provide rapid response and mitigation even as design solutions get developed. We provide long-term monitoring to track hazards and project performance. And if your project requires the licensing or expertise of just a few members of our team, we can seamlessly augment your staff to get the job done.
In short, our approach to geotechnical and geological engineering is about efficiency and flexibility to deliver the results clients need. We bring this approach to:
- Government infrastructure
- Energy
- Real estate developers
- Education, healthcare, and cultural institutions
- Environmental trusts
- Industrial and manufacturing
- Mining
- Aerospace
Whether you need geological consulting services for emergency guidance or long-term hazard management, we will draw on innovation and a client-first approach to get your project done right.
