  • Prepare samples and perform index testing (i.e., moisture content, density, Atterberg Limits, grain size analysis, hydrometer, Expansion Index), volume change (consolidation), and strength (direct shear and unconfined compressive strength).
  • Prepare samples and perform tests for moisture-density relationships
  • Prepare test reports for tests performed
  • Geotechnical Engineering

  • Using AutoCAD, develop figures and plates for geotechnical reports including site plans and geologic cross sections
  • Compute bearing capacity, settlement, and lateral earth pressures.
  • Compute asphalt and concrete pavement thickness
  • Prepare field reports and memorandums documenting work performed and results.
  • Summarize the site conditions (past and present) of a site including the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions encountered during the field exploratory phase
  • Summarize the local and regional geologic conditions based on mapping encountered
  • Identify geologic and seismic hazards that may impact the site
  • Present seismic design parameters (code based and by site specific ground motion hazard analysis)
