GEOTECHNICAL


The Geotechnical Team specializes in geotechnical engineering to support construction, transportation, and heavy civil infrastructure projects with an emphasis on highways, bridges, marine structures, and construction engineering.

Harbourside’s team of geotechnical engineers and technicians assess the physical and engineering properties of soil, rock, and groundwater in order to support design and construction of foundations, retaining structures, and site development.
