Geotechnology performed a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey to detect voids beneath approximately 3,700 lineal feet of streets within the City of Florence, Kentucky. Municipal Street Void Survey Project Background GPR is a geophysical technique in which a broadband EM signal is transmitted into the ground. The signal is then reflected by subsurface features based

This project involved conducting research and a baseline geophysical survey to assist in designing a pilot study for the use of zero valent iron (ZVI) for remediation at the former Tyson Valley Powder Farm (TVPF). Tyson Valley Research Project Background The geology in the vicinity of TVPF included a surficial layer of up to 25

Under subcontract to Black and Veatch Corporation, Geotechnology, Inc. provided various services in support of design and construction for the new 665-megawatt pulverized coal-fired Plum Point power plant. The plant is located a few miles south of Osceola, Arkansas. Our services included drilling, sampling, geophysical, specialty geotechnical testing, and laboratory testing Plum Point Project Background

Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) has begun its $4.7 billion, 23-year, wastewater/stormwater system overhaul. This project was launched for remediating the combined sewer system originally built before the Civil War — the first system to be built west of the Mississippi River. The system needed to be improved to be compliant with USEPA and MDNR standards.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers was tasked with the design and construction of a new facility to house the Continental United States Field Command of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA CONUS). Planned construction included an approximately 165,000 square foot structure. It also included a 225,000 square feet of parking lot pavements and entrance

As part of the Blue River Road project, Geotechnology was contracted to provide forensic research, geotechnical evaluation and geophysical testing along Blue River Road between I-435 on the south and E 87th Street on the north. We were tasked with determining the cause of pavement distress and slope failure in several locations. Blue River Road
