Residential geotechnical applications

GEOTECHNICAL

The Claymore team has provided outstanding customer service and reliable engineering and testing services to our clients for decades and all of our staff are dedicated to understanding your project-specific requirements. Whether our team is working on a small residential subsurface investigation project or providing professional testimony in a court of law, our focus on quality doesn’t waiver.

Residential and Commercial Soil Testing and Geotechnical Engineering

We are experienced in providing the highest quality geotechnical investigations for both commercial and residential construction projects. These projects typically involve soil boring and rock coring activities to obtain classification data including density/consistency, USCS classifications, moisture, plasticity, cohesiveness, and rock quality designations for the determination of bearing capacity and lateral load capacity of the subsurface material. This data can then be utilized to supplement foundation designs and determine site preparation requirements.

​

We also provides litigation support for landslide victims and construction oversight services for contractors and homeowners. All field work is overseen by a Professional Engineer and all reports are prepared and stamped by a Professional Engineer locally licensed.
