ServicesGeologic studies focused on carbonate rock, alluvial soils, and sinkhole risk.
We specialize in geological studies that support land development in Pennsylvania’s complex terrain, including carbonate and karst geology, alluvial soils, and areas prone to sinkholes. Our team evaluates subsurface conditions to identify potential hazards, inform design decisions, and meet municipal and regulatory requirements. While our hydrogeologic services focus on assessing sinkhole risk, our primary goal is to provide clear, defensible data that helps engineers, planners, and developers build with confidence.
We assess karst terrain and carbonate bedrock to identify features like solution channels, voids, and unstable ground that can affect structural integrity. These studies help inform site layout, foundation design, and regulatory compliance in areas where subsurface conditions can change rapidly.
Our team analyzes alluvial soils—deposits from rivers or streams that may pose challenges for development due to variability, saturation, or compaction concerns. Understanding these soil characteristics early helps avoid costly surprises during construction.
We perform targeted evaluations in karst regions to assess the likelihood of sinkhole formation. These studies include surface inspections, subsurface testing, and review of geologic mapping to help reduce risk to infrastructure, safety, and long-term stability.
Our findings are compiled into clear, actionable reports that support permit applications, engineering design, and land development approvals. We provide detailed maps, hazard assessments, and recommendations that help keep your project moving forward.
