Normally, geotechnical studies are required during the planning stages of site development in order to determine the quality of soils, and their suitability for construction purposes. These studies also address the potential problems that each specific project can present and provide specific solutions to them. Provided as part of the solution is the design of earth retaining structures.

During the last two decades, Geotechnical Consulting & Testing, Inc. (GC&T) has amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience in the geotechnical engineering analysis and design fields, with special emphasis in the local geology that has gained GC&T the recognition of developers and builders in the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area.

Utilizing cutting-edge technology and multidisciplinary approach to these studies, GC&T can identify the eventual problems that soils can present and provide economical and feasible solutions. A staff of engineers, geologists and environmental scientists are part of this multidisciplinary team.

The extent of our services is not limited to the planning stage of the project; GC&T remains available for future consultation during the design and construction phases of the project.
