The built world resides in the natural world. Though much consideration is paid to the impact our structures have on the natural world, the connection runs both ways. The soil, groundwater, geology, site history, and natural terrain of a structure’s environment can significantly impact its performance. Understanding these factors is key to assessing field conditions, developing appropriate construction or repair details, and mitigating potential hazards.
WJE's geotechnical and geostructural engineers bring decades of experience providing specialized consulting services for clients. Our practice encompasses geotechnical engineering, geostructural engineering, groundwater hydrology, earthquake engineering, and forensic engineering. We apply a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate subsurface conditions, soil-structure interaction, foundation performance, earth-retaining systems, slope stability, seismic hazards, and the behavior of existing and newly constructed infrastructure.
Whether investigating retaining wall failures, foundation movement, landslides, and other geotechnical distress; providing support of excavation design and review, instrumentation, and construction troubleshooting; or performing site-specific seismic hazard and ground response evaluations for high-risk dams, our experts deliver practical, technically sound solutions. Combining hands-on field investigation, advanced testing, numerical analysis, and forensic evaluation, we help clients understand risk, resolve complex engineering challenges, and enhance the safety, durability, and resilience of buildings and infrastructure throughout their service life.
