GZA’s geotechnical engineers evaluate and design foundation systems for landside, waterfront and off-shore structures.

Typical engineering analyses include:

• Pile and drilled pier foundations to resist axial and lateral loads
• Spread footing and mat foundations
• Stability of surface and submerged slopes and embankments
• Geohazards analyses
• Earthquake engineering, including site-specific analyses for liquefaction and seismically-induced ground displacement
• Soil-structure interaction during static and dynamic (e.g., wave and earthquake) loading
• Ground improvement design.
