Soils and Geology Reports

Geotechnical Engineering Reports in Southern California

At NTS Geotechnical, we are here to be your premier provider for geotechnical engineering reports in Southern California, providing the most reliable yet economical approach to designing and constructing your foundations, slab-on-grade, and other features that come in direct contact with soil. 

​

Civil, structural, and at times shoring engineers utilize our geotechnical engineering reports in Southern California to design the grading, foundation, retaining walls, pools, decks, and shoring system for your project. Obtaining a reliable report will reduce your construction costs. Depending on the site of your project and the type of structure you’re constructing, you could see as much as a 25 to 50% decrease in costs by providing your structural designer with a soils and geology report. 

​

In addition to serving as a design submittal, the soils and geology reports provide construction basis so that the contractor can ensure the project is constructed in accordance with accepted geotechnical practices and the California Building Code. They also allow the testing and inspection firms to verify that the work conforms with the building code. ​

​

These reports are pivotal to the success of a construction project, as without a full geotechnical engineering report, you may come across areas of uncertainty that could impact the structural integrity of your building or structure. The geotechnical recommendations provided in our geotechnical engineering reports are critical in design and constructing a specific structure, which includes bearing capacity for design of new foundations, recommendations to mitigate soft and unstable subgrade soils, recommendations to mitigate and minimize the potential for clay soil to expand, grading recommendations and much more.
