We completed geotechnical exploration for a new geothermal power plant pipeline project east of Fernley, Nevada. We will prepare a geotechnical report for the proposed new geothermal pipeline with geotechnical design and construction recommendations for the project including drilled pier foundations for pipe supports. Geotechnical design will include analyses of drilled pier foundations (deep foundations) for axial, lateral, and torsional loads.

We completed the field evaluation of premature rutting failure of pavers in northwest Reno. We will utilize our field findings to formulate engineering recommendations for repair/reconstruction of these street pavers to last for the intended design life. Our scope will also include bid support, review and inspection & materials testing during construction.

We completed geotechnical exploration (borings) for a large commercial project in the Spanish Springs area of Washoe Country. The project will ultimately include the design and construction of several retail buildings as well as a large warehouse-style industrial building. We are currently preparing a geotechnical report with geotechnical recommendations for the design and construction of the project.
