Geotechnical:
Investigation and Testing
 Structures
and foundations are often located in topographically complex
areas or rock formations that can not be accurately characterized
with conventional geotechnical exploration techniques. Barr
has the experience with coastal and continental geology necessary
to evaluate the engineering and structural geology of a site
and to determine potential impacts on foundations, structures,
and facility siting.
Our
team of geotechnical engineers assesses site grading and construction
requirements and evaluates and mitigates existing or potential
geologic hazards. We bring to your project skills acquired
on a wide range of projects involving buildings, railroads,
open-pit and underground excavation and mining, tunnels, pipelines,
dams and landfills.
Barr
focuses on geotechnical consultation, usually establishing
a drilling and testing program and then subcontracting routine
available services. This reduces unnecessary mobilization
and selection of better quality and/or lower cost service.
At the same time, we provide specialized services and equipment
to support nonroutine problems and issues.
Some
of the investigation and testing services that we provide
are:
- Soil boring
- Rock coring
- In-situ testing—subgrade, modulus, vane shear, standard
penetration, cone penetrometer, pressuremeter
- Monitoring—vibration, water level, settlement, pressure,
inclinometer
- Testing—a full complement of standard test methods,
including Atterberg limits, grain size, triaxial, direct
shear, consolidation
- Geophysical—seismic, conductivity, resistivity
