SITE EVALUATIONS
Braun Intertec can bring you knowledgeable and professional services for both surface and subsurface explorations.
Site reconnaissance.
Site reconnaissance allows us to visually evaluate the site characteristics of your site that could impact your project, such as drainage, erosion, soil and rock slopes, geologic or environmental hazards, historic site use and existing structure distress. Using information collected from the reconnaissance, we develop effective evaluation programs for your project. We also make recommendations for the proper site preparation for development or redevelopment. Our services also include field mapping for your site or project.
Subsurface investigation.
When you work with us, you’ll see we’re equipped with a wide range of drill rigs and various analytical tools to characterize your site’s subsurface geology. When we assess your project needs, we determine which of these tools are most appropriate to do the work. These analytical tools include:
- Standard Penetrometer Test
- Cone Penetrometer Test
- Rock coring
- E-logging
- Pressuremeter
- Push Probe
- Dilatometer
- Wells: Monitoring, pump/slug tests
- Inclinometers
- Piezometers
- Extensometers
- Resistivity
- Ground penetrating radar (GPR)
- Electro magnetic surveys
- Infiltration testing
- Vane shear
- Geographic mapping and analysis (GIS)
Forensic engineering.
Through forensic engineering, we evaluate building performance, analyze failures and provide you with expert testimony support. Our investigative services use a variety of tools and technologies that are designed to collect and analyze structural and material failures, determine causes and offer mitigation options.
