GZA Services

Foundation Engineering

GZA’s geotechnical engineers provide the design expertise to evaluate the engineering parameters and project requirements to provide the most appropriate foundation solution for the project. Foundation alternatives generally fall into two primary categories: shallow and deep. The foundation system that is selected for a project depends on the design load, settlement criteria, construction cost, schedule and most importantly the overburden soil conditions. Constructing foundations with challenging site and soil conditions is overcome through continued on-site support, design modifications in the field and with GZA’s experienced field engineers.

GZA works with the project team to follow our design recommendations through the design and construction phases of work to provide the highest level of service to our clients. Our diverse experience locally, nationally and internationally designing, reviewing and overseeing the construction of deep and shallow foundations has allowed us to provide unparalleled service excellence.
