Geological and Seismic Studies

The objective of Geological and Seismic studies are to determine the geologic and seismic conditions at a given area.  These conditions may include the following:
  • Soil type and engineering properties of the site materials.
  • Susceptibility of geologic hazards at a site, such as: landslides, shrink-swell potential, subsidence, debris flow, rock falls, erosion, liquefaction, and seismic shaking.
  • Location of active and potentially active faults in relationship to study area.
  • Probability and extent of groundshaking caused by faults affecting the study area.
Our experience conducting geological and seismic studies helps aid our clients in evaluating a particular site for geologic or seismic hazards.
