Geotechnical & Structural Engineering by Applied Consultants
Established 40+ years ago, with a wealth of geotechnical and forensic engineering experience, Applied Consultants’ licensed Professional Engineers and specialists help homeowners, real estate agents, insurance companies, developers, and community associations solve their geotechnical and forensic problems.
Our geotechnical engineering division has been writing soils reports in the San Diego, and Orange County area for new construction, ADU’s, remodels, retaining walls, basements, swimming pools, and other structures. Our in-house soils laboratory allows us to perform a variety of soil classification and strength parameter tests.
Common types of soils reports are:
- Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation or Soils Report
- Compaction Testing and As-Built Reports
- Soil Laboratory Testing
- Slope Stability Analysis
- Stormwater Infiltration Testing
- Shoring Design
- Liquefaction Study
Our forensics division determines the real cause of structural and foundation damages, memorialize the damages with written reports and photographs, and provide professional engineering guidance and recommendations to mitigate further structural distress.
We specialize in developing appropriate, cost-effective solutions by Professional Engineers. We implement non-destructive techniques and take a common sense approach to solving various problems such as:
- Cracked/deteriorated footings
- Cracked walls
- Uneven floors
- Soil settlement or expansion
- Structural stability issues
- Slope stability issues
- Geotechnical stability issues
Our Special Inspection Division is staffed by licensed ICC, ACI, and City of San Diego Special Inspectors. Our special inspectors have certifications in concrete, masonry, wood, and soils. Common special inspection tests are:
- Concrete sampling: concrete cylinders for strength sampling
- Masonry sampling: Grout prisms for strength sampling
- Post installed anchors – Epoxy and mechanical anchors
- Wood – for high strength shearwalls and diaphragms. Typically greater than 300plf.
