HVJ Southeast Texas

HVJ Associates®

Southeast Texas and Headquarters

The Houston office was established in 1985 to provide full-service geotechnical engineering
and construction materials engineering and testing services to Houston, Beaumont, Victoria,
Yoakum, Bryan/College Station, Lufkin, and surrounding areas.

Geotechnical and Construction Materials Engineering Services.

We use our geotechnical engineering expertise to assess specific site soil and groundwater conditions and design earth structures (slopes, channels, and dikes), foundations (retaining walls, bridges, buildings, tanks), and subsurface structures (clarifiers, lift stations, buried utilities, tunnels) to economically achieve the specific project objectives.

We engineer and test materials such as soil, concrete, and asphalt to help make sure you get what you pay for and that your project performs as well as or better than expected. Services include owner verification testing, pavement subgrade stabilization, and shrink-swell mitigation mix designs, and construction observation of drilled shaft, auger-cast-pile, driven pile, shallow spread footing, and mat foundations.
