Geotechnical Engineering
Subsurface exploration and geotechnical design reports for construction of all types of structures and facilities.
Geotechnical Design and Exploration
GeoTek provides subsurface exploration and geotechnical design reports for construction of all types of structures and facilities such as roads, highways, bridges, high rise buildings, residential developments, hospitals, military bases, storm water control, earthen dams, detention basins and levees, underground utilities, schools, and more.
GeoTek's engineers and geologists have more than 20 years on these project types, including sites with difficult ground. GeoTek's view is that good engineering is cost-effective engineering. Offices in Nevada, California, Idaho, and New Mexico cover work across the western United States, including remote sites.
Our Geotechnical Services Include

Foundation Design
GeoTek recommends a foundation type after evaluating surface and subsurface conditions, running laboratory tests, and completing the engineering or geologic analysis for that site. Foundation types include:
- Conventional
- Post-Tension
- WRI Design Methods
- Walls (MSE, Masonry, Rockery)
- Deep Foundations
Engineering Analysis
GeoTek's engineers use current analysis software to meet local jurisdiction requirements, public safety, and the client's criteria. Analyses include:
- Liquefaction Evaluation
- Slope Stability and Design
- Landslide Stabilization
- Settlement Potentials
- Seepage Analysis
Geologic Analysis
Many sites have geologic hazards. Licensed geologists at GeoTek run the investigations a project needs, including:
- Fault Hazard Studies
- Subsidence & Ground Fissure Evaluations
- Landslide Identification/Mapping
- Rock Hardness Studies
- Rock Slope Stability Analysis
- Rock Fall Hazard Analysis
- Assessment for Naturally Occurring Asbestos
- Groundwater Modeling
