We are confident that if the Leaning Tower of Pisa was built today, there would be extensive investigations and lawsuits by the owners. We doubt if your project ended leaning in this position there would be tourists paying you to see it.
Rocky Mountain Group – RMG Engineers are your Colorado professionals in managing the expansive soils and strange rock formations, found just beneath where you want to build your project. It’s been said that no one can build anything without knowing what type of foundation will best fit your situation.
Our geotechnical engineers are the most innovative in the business, but knowledge is only part of the solution. Experience of applying that knowledge in the field on your next project is where it really counts.
We realize that no two soils tests are the same…ever. We also know that you are looking for the professional geotechnical services that will provide you with a comprehensive evaluation that includes innovative recommendations for a foundation design that is state of the art.
It takes effort to provide our clients with the broadest scope of possibilities for their projects. However, no matter what the scale of the project, we focus on showing you exactly what types of foundation designs, roadbeds, walls, site preparation, and a multitude of solutions can be used, at a price point that is both fair and REASONABLE.
This is why we specialize in providing unique and innovative solutions to your solving your specific problems.
Expansive clay, which is the problematic soils that causes headaches for developers, builders and the average homeowner alike, is found extensively along the front range. Combine that with settling silts, vertical bedding geology or creeping slopes also encountered along the front range, providing innovative solutions…
