HVJ is a leader among geotechnical firms in Texas. Our
primary work is to examine the soil, bedrock, and groundwater
conditions at construction sites. Our geotechnical engineers
can spot problems quickly and recommend solutions.
We engage in an array of projects. In transportation,
our geotechnical services are necessary for highways,
railroads, airports, and seaports. For utilities, we work
on construction projects related to drinking water, storm
water, wastewater, and distribution centers that handle
treated water. We perform geotechnical services for new
subdivisions and sites for municipal and high-rise office
buildings manufacturing and refining plants.
Most of our geotechnical engineers hold advanced degrees
and have extensive knowledge of the Texas terrain. Often,
when construction plans go awry due to unexpected soil
conditions, companies look to HVJ for answers. Our alternate
solutions have saved clients millions of dollars. Our
knowledge of land in the Lone Star State is a value-added
benefit of working with HVJ.
Geotechnical reports must be accurate. In the field, our
engineers utilize advanced technologies, such as ground
penetrating radar. In our labs, technicians test soil
and rock samples using automated equipment, all calibrated
to regulatory specifications. Our standards meet or exceed
those set by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)
and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
To enhance quality control, all geotechnical data are
tripled checked, first by the lab technician, then by the
lab manager, and finally by the lead geotechnical engineer
on the project. We stand behind our work.
Our geotechnical services include:
- Foundation and pavement design
- Settlement and subsidence analysis
- Underpinning and special foundations
- Shallow foundations and rigid mats
- Deep foundations and pressure injected footings
- Earth retaining structures and reinforced earth
- Slope design, soil and rock stability
- Landslide analysis and control
- Expansive/collapsing soils
- Dams and reservoirs
- Hydroelectric facilities
- Soil and rock instrumentation and blast monitoring
- Braced excavations and tieback walls
