Foundation design and earthwork construction are key elements in the success of
any construction project. We believe that a good design begins with a geotechnical
engineering team that has a broad understanding of all the relevant factors and
issues, that govern practical foundation design and construction. This knowledge
enables our engineers to develop innovative and cost-effective foundation and design
solutions for our clients.
We Deliver Quality and Value
From subsurface exploration to geological studies and design recommendations,
BCE delivers a wide spectrum of geotechnical consulting services, including:
Field Exploration
Careful and complete field exploration is critical since it forms the database for
all subsequent analysis and design. BCE, Inc. routinely employs
the following field exploration techniques:
- Soil borings and rock core drilling
- Test pit excavations and logging
- In-situ pressure meter testing
- In-situ Dutch cone penetrometer testing
- Groundwater monitoring well installation
- Inclinometer installation and monitoring
Engineering Analysis
After evaluating and testing field samples, the field exploration results, laboratory
testing results, engineering analysis, and design recommendations are presented
in a clear, comprehensive written report. BCE, Inc.'s project experience
includes:
- Geological studies
- Geosynthetic reinforcement design
- High capacity shallow foundation systems
- Site development feasibility studies
- Geotechnical analysis and reporting
- Mass grading considerations
- Steepened slope design
- Mat foundations
- Site class per IBC
- Site specific seismic response analysis, IBC
- High capacity pile and caisson foundations
- Waterproofing and dewatering designs
- Slope stability evaluations
- Pavement analysis and design
- Soil cement and lime stabilization
- Conventional and earth reinforced retaining walls
- Earth retention system and dam designs
- Specification preparation
- Dynamic compaction
Instrumentation
- Vibration Monitoring
- 3-D Deformation Monitoring
- Noise Monitoring
- Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA)
- Deep Foundation Load Testing
- Inclinometer
- Non-Destructive Testing
- Crack Monitoring

- Floor Flatness and Floor Levelness Testing
Laboratory Testing
BCE, Inc., operates a full service materials testing laboratory
and its affiliates to determine soil properties and engineering design parameters.
Our strict Quality Control/Quality Assurance programs ensure that all tests are
performed in accordance with recognized engineering standards tailored to specific
project needs.
