Geotechnical
Crouch Engineering, P.C. performs a wide range of geotechnical engineering services to support our Railway & Railroad, bridge, and civil engineering projects during design and construction.
Our geotechnical services are generally provided in three distinct tasks consisting of subsurface investigation, geotechnical engineering and design, and reporting.
All of these tasks can be performed together or individually as needed to meet the needs of our clients.
Subsurface Investigations
Due to the nature of our work, Crouch Engineering, P.C. routinely conducts subsurface investigations in other states in a variety of subsurface and geologic settings. As such, we subcontract local accredited drilling firms and nationally certified laboratory testing agencies to take advantage of local experience and minimize mobilization and shipping expenses to the client.Subsurface investigations typically include split-spoon and wash-rotary sampling, and wireline rock coring employing a range of drilling platforms including truck-mounted hollow-stem auger and all-terrain vehicle (ATV) rigs, as well as hi-rail mounted and remote control drilling rigs where complicated conditions are present and access is difficult.
For all geotechnical investigations we perform, an experienced, Professional Engineer from our staff is present to monitor drilling operations and log and interpret subsurface conditions.
Geotechnical Engineering and Design
Crouch Engineering, P.C.’s design capabilities include:
• Finite Element Modeling (Rocscience© Phase2
FEM)
• Slope Stability (Rocscience© Slide) and Earth
Retention Analysis and Design
• Deep and Shallow Foundation Design
• Ground and Tieback Anchor Design
• Retaining Wall Design
• Soil Remediation and Treatment Analysis
Reporting
With any subsurface investigation, reporting the results of field and laboratory data along with engineering recommendations is critical.Our reports address specific parameters for project design, recommendations for construction, and quality control requirements, and include detailed field and boring logs and laboratory test results.
