GEOTECHNICAL
ENGINEERING SERVICES

During construction, what is under a
piece of property can be just as important
as what is being built on top of it.
Contaminated soil, “old fill”, groundwater,
karst topography, and more unknowns
can be disastrous for a construction project.
The following benefits make Patriot
Engineers invaluable members of your
engineering and design team. Patriot’s
