    2-3 week turnaround time for fast-track project scheduling

From small to large-scale, your project begins here!

No matter the size of your construction project, your timeline only works if you partner with reliable geotech engineers who can accommodate your needs and schedule. With Terradyne, you work with experts backed by nearly 30 years of trusted ingenuity, professionalism, and solution-driven results.

Our team provides efficient drilling and sampling services that ensure your project will be done on time and as accurately as possible. Since subsurface problems are often the reason behind delays and budget-breaking overruns, our engineers thoroughly evaluate the conditions and offer design recommendations that utilize the most practical, economical, and technologically sound solutions.

Enhanced Soil Testing & Analysis

With soil testing being a vital pre-construction task for any project, get site-specific design recommendations and construction criteria as quickly as possible with our surface and subsurface investigations.

Our labs, located in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, and Denver, deliver unparalleled soil analysis and reporting that ensure your project moves to the next stage without issue, and our highly trained engineers can perform construction materials testing throughout the project for guaranteed quality assurance.

Soil testing and soil reports are crucial components of geotechnical engineering services. These processes involve assessing soil properties to determine its suitability for construction projects. Soil testing includes evaluating soil strength, composition, and moisture content, which are essential for designing foundations and other structural elements.

Detailed soil reports provide valuable data that guide engineers in making informed decisions, ensuring the safety and stability of structures.

Get the foundational steps to manage your project.

When you partner with us, you get a project manager who is there every step of the way and stays in constant communication with your contractors, project superintendents, and our team. From the onset, our team will work with your project personnel to understand your specifications, develop a work plan, and establish a deliberate schedule that fits your timeline.

The foundational work our team provides can be seen in the numerous projects completed on time and with design accuracy throughout Texas and Colorado. Our widespread discovery process assists greatly in avoiding unforeseen issues or setbacks, as our previous clients can attest.

Start with our professional on-site excavation services. Our team will match our drilling schedule with the contractor’s for expedited sampling.

Then, we perform many lab tests for all soil types and foundation goals, including:

  • Foundation type/depth/allowable bearing criteria for all ranges of vertical loads.
  • Below grade soil stress analyses for active, at rest, and passive pressures.
  • Slope stability analyses for earth slopes and excavation cuts.
  • Pavement design and materials characterization.
  • Soil testing, moisture content testing, soil settlement analyses, and more.
  • Atterberg Limits test
  • Post-injection Swell testing
