Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering specializing in the behavior of earth materials used for the built environment. NMG’s engineers are licensed professionals that have specialized training and knowledge of the structural behavior of soil. Experienced with subsurface explorations and soil testing for evaluating site conditions and soil engineering properties, our engineers perform the necessary assessments required to support a broad range of projects and structures.
NMG engineers work closely with engineering geologists and field technicians to identify geotechnical constraints and provide effective recommendations that can significantly enhance project design and facilitate construction. NMG has developed extensive knowledge and experience working with local governing agencies and regulatory codes which can also have a significant engineering and project impact.
