The Schneider Corporation is a leader in performing geotechnical engineering investigations to evaluate subsurface soil and groundwater conditions during any stage of construction.

Breaking ground and discovering unsuitable subsurface soil and groundwater conditions can cause major complications, missed deadlines, and costly change orders.

The information obtained by a geotechnical investigation can help eliminate uncertainty, limit liability, and ultimately save time and money on construction projects. It is used by a wide variety of professionals such as architects, developers, bankers, civil/structural engineers and contractors.

Areas of expertise include:

• Feasibility Assessments
• Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) Investigations
• Dam/Earth Embankment Analysis & Design
• Shallow/Deep Foundation Recommendations
• Retaining & Mechanical Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wall Recommendations
• Geological & Hydrology Studies
