Geotechnical Engineering
Legacy performs subsurface explorations throughout the Central Virginia region, with emphasis on earthwork and site development, ponds and dams, shallow and deep foundation systems for buildings and other structures, pavement design and evaluation, retaining structures and foundation walls, drainage system designs and other ground water issues, problem and shrink/swell soil sites, and slope stability evaluations.
Legacy’s geotechnical engineering services support new construction projects, actively address unforeseen field condition changes, provide material and laboratory testing for soil modifications, and evaluate compliance within specifications. Our experienced team will maximize the information obtained during subsurface exploration for engineered design and solutions.
