Applications - Overview

Site characterization is the technical foundation for all geotechnical and environmental projects.  The objective of a site characterization is to gain an accurate and complete understanding of subsurface conditions that will impact the engineering or environmental decisions made at a site.   If the site characterization is done right, these decisions will be made with a high degree of confidence and be supported by reliable technical data.

Site characterization is needed on any project where uncertain subsurface conditions may lead to future problems or ineffective solutions.  The applications are extensive, but may be divided into three broad categories: Geotechnical, Environmental, and Hydrogeologic.

Technos incorporates a broad variety of observations, geophysical measurements, borings, hydrogeologic measurements, and aerial photo analysis to provide an integrated site characterization.  We work in all types of challenging geologic settings, including karst and marine environments.  Contact us today to discuss your site characterization application.
