Construction Inspection
Quality assurance during construction — from foundation to final grade.
Making Sure It's Built Right
A geotechnical report is only as good as its implementation. Construction inspection ensures that the conditions assumed in design actually match what's encountered in the field — and that the contractor's work meets the specified standards.
We provide on-site inspection during critical construction phases, with same-day verbal results and formal documentation to keep your project on schedule.
What We Inspect
- Foundations: Verifying bearing conditions match design assumptions before concrete is placed
- Compaction: Nuclear density gauge or other testing to confirm fill meets specifications
- Piles: Monitoring installation, reviewing driving records, confirming capacity
- Subgrade: Confirming adequate preparation before slab-on-grade or pavement placement
- Earthworks: Verifying cut/fill operations meet design grades and material specifications
Why It Matters
Catching a problem during construction costs a fraction of fixing it after the building is occupied. A foundation poured on unsuitable material, fill compacted to the wrong density, or piles that don't reach design capacity — these are the issues that become expensive warranty claims and litigation. Proper inspection prevents them.
