Surprises happen during site preparation and earthwork construction that can cause significant delays or add unexpected costs to a project. Element’s team has a strong background in construction phase consultation, and can help advise you on difficult issues where a qualified recommendation can have a big impact. We specialize in subgrade verification, T-probe and proof-roll observations, overexcavation and stabilization guidance, geotechnical pile observation and documentation, drainage troubleshooting, and much more. Keep us in mind when challenging soil conditions are anticipated or unexpectedly encountered on your site this construction season. 

Element can also offer timely auxiliary services that can arise during construction. We will help you confirm geotechnical soil parameters for suitability with design during the construction phase. We perform in-situ PIT-testing and visual inspections for drainage and stormwater facility construction verifications. Element staff can also provide geotechnical retaining wall construction oversight and documentation if required by your building permit. We can also provide temporary cutslope and slope stabilization consultation for problematic areas requiring creative solutions to ensure temporary excavation or long-term slope stability. Our team is ready to act quickly to help you keep your tight schedules and complete projects before the rain comes again.
