Earthquakes are inevitable, but geological, seismological, and geotechnical engineering services are valuable tools for designing different facilities under seismic loads and mitigating earthquake hazards. STABILITY AND SAVINGS Our diverse staff includes civil, materials, seismic, and geotechnical earthquake engineers, as well as engineering geologists, geophysicists, and earth and computer scientists. Our specialists are leading experts in the fields of seismic engineering, slope stability analyses, landslide repair, and seismic and geohazards evaluations. We have nearly unlimited technical resources for our earthquake engineering team. Our ability to provide a variety of services enhances project continuity, which can reduce costs and improve the quality of the end product. Our professionals have the training, knowledge, project experience, and resources to perform a wide array of services.
