Geotechnical engineering provides complete subsurface evaluation for the design and construction of roads, transit, airports, bridges, buildings, pipes, tunnels, and other structures. Somat’s roots are in geotechnical engineering, and we have been investigating and making expert recommendations on foundation conditions and materials for over three decades.

Somat professionals assess the risks posed by site conditions, design earthworks and structure foundations, and make recommendations during the early phases of a project. Somat also monitors site conditions, earthwork, and foundations during construction. Companies have applied our geotechnical expertise to airports, roads, bridges, transit systems, water/wastewater systems, utilities, and built facilities, for both government and private clients.
