Geotechnical Services
The AGEC Engineering Services Group delivers efficient, reliable, and timely
consultation services to our clients. Project Engineers are designated by the
Engineering Services Group leader to manage each project from initial client
contact through final report delivery. After receipt of a notice-to-proceed, the
Project Engineer, selected to provide each project with the best combination of
capabilities and experience to address project requirements, coordinates all
project activities and completes engineering analysis throughout the course of
the project. Field investigations will be scheduled as required. Data obtained
from field investigations and scheduled geotechnical laboratory testing are
reviewed by a professional engineer prior to comprehensive engineering
analysis and development of "draft" recommendations. Refinements are made,
if required, and the final report is again comprehensively reviewed prior to
delivery. This extensive quality-review process ensures the production of a
report meeting the requirements of AGEC clients.

The field investigations can be performed with AGEC's own equipment.
Mobile Drill Rig - AGEC’s all-terrain (balloon-tired) CME 750 drill rig allows us to explore the subsurface conditions even in the most difficult access areas. |

Truck-Mounted Drill Rig - AGEC's CME 55 drill rig will allow us to explore to a depth of 225 feet. Drill rig operations are coordinated from our Sandy office; we have completed projects state-wide and will utilize in-house or subcontracted drilling services as project requirements and schedules dictate. |
Backhoe - AGEC’s all terrain 4 wheel drive John Deere 310-SG backhoe allows us to excavate test pits for subsurface explorations. The backhoe operations are coordinated from our Sandy office. We typically subcontract backhoe or trackhoes as the project requirements dictate for our Southern Utah offices. |
