Subsurface Inspectors and Consulting

The ground under your building, highway, or construction project needs the same stable base to perform optimally for many years. Many state and local entities require subsurface inspections before construction begins. To ensure that your business stands on firm ground, our geotechnical experts and construction engineers start with in-depth soil tests and compaction grading. Getting your project off the ground does no good if your company has to go back and fix issues arising from an unstable foundation.

Types of Material for Fill Placement
  • Topsoil
  • Sand
  • Clay
  • Gravel
  • Silt
  • Sandstone
  • Bedrock
  • Silicates
  • Binders
Geotechnical engineers ensure that roadways and building lots have densities that can withstand years of traffic depending on the use of the site. For instance, a highway bed compaction level will be much different from a bank parking lot. By testing the underground conditions, engineers and contractors can ensure the material for foundations and roadways are made with a robust mix of materials that will withstand years of use. Determining the ingredients in that combination is a necessary part of the construction, fill placement, and structural integrity for any buildings on or next to the site. Some things that affect the compaction level of fill dirt include:
  • Size and shape of aggregate materials
  • Air void detection
  • Soil composition
  • Drainage
  • Use of binders
Why Businesses Need Subsurface Condition Consultants

The U.S. Bureau of Transportation says that in December of 2017, freight traffic rose by more than six percent. This growth was evident in the previous two months as well. The additional traffic on the roadways and going in and out of businesses take a toll on the pavement and roads across the country. Companies are seeing a growing demand for subsurface condition consultants to help them ensure that the ground is capable of handling higher traffic loads. These experts also help determine how long the compaction rate will last for new construction and existing properties with in-place foundations. Advantages for clients using Kagaoan Engineering subsurface condition consulting services include:
  • Fewer rehabilitation needs
  • More time before the first maintenance service
  • Fewer maintenance needs with long-term use
  • Decrease in repair costs and visits for upgrades
  • Less risk for structural damage
  • Minimal ground shifting
  • Washout prevention
  • Resistance to ruts and tunnel expansions
  • Less noise when driving over the area
  • Better crack protection
  • Known drain paths
  • Fewer overall costs
Subsurface Condition Consultants for New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut

Tri-state firms need compaction consultants for a variety of reasons, but one of the biggest advantages of using a specialist is to ensure a durable foundation. Many civil engineering projects require compaction reports and permits. Our experts understand the technical details and requirements for commercial and civil projects. Performing necessary soil testing helps us realize the compaction levels and what is necessary to fix any issues. The most common seasons for compacting soil include:
  • To provide a waterproof barrier
  • To protect the asphalt and help reduce corrosion of binding agents
  • Reduce thermal cracking issues
  • Lower rutting instances and depths
  • Add strength and stability to the area
  • To prevent additional settling
  • To resist cracking from overuse
