Improvements
supported in or on soils typically require analysis of
subsurface soil and water conditions. These conditions
can vary significantly within nature, often within the
limits of a building foundation excavation. Factors such
as soil type, moisture content, unit weight, compressive
strength, compressibility, subsurface water and other
conditions can have a positive as well as negative
impact on proposed improvements. Understanding these and
other conditions are crucial to the planning, design,
construction and long term performance of building
foundations, slabs, pavements and other soil supported
improvements. SMC provides the full range of services
needed to analyze the above conditions and to assist in
understanding subsurface site conditions.
