Geotechnical Engineering

Professional Geotechnical Engineering


When developing a site for construction, innovative engineering concepts must begin with the geotechnical engineer. As the first of the design team to fully explore the site, our responsibility to the project begins immediately and transcends throughout its development. At Anderson Engineering Consultants Inc., our goals are to support the owner and design team by providing quality engineering consultation, which lends itself to reduced construction costs while satisfying project performance, criteria, and schedule. Having satisfied clients' needs in over 20 states, from Arizona to New York, AECI's knowledge of variable geotechnical conditions translates into benefits for the client. Our innovative approaches to many projects have ultimately to the successful development of the project.
