GESTRA performs its own field and
laboratory tests for almost all
the services offered.
We have an geotechnical laboratory and
geotechnical field exploration
equipment. GESTRA is equipped to
handle virtually all of the
laboratory and field testing needs
of our clients.
GESTRA works closely with each of
its clients in order to gain a
distinct understanding of the
project. When we fully understand
the uses of the prospective property
or area, GESTRA can design |
|
a unique
geotechnical exploration program
which will help ensure that the most
pertinent data is obtained. Our local knowledge and
geotechnical expertise, we can assist
our
clients in obtaining the most cost
effective and useful subsurface
information. |

|
Subsurface information for a
prospective property or structure is
imperative in order to reduce the
risk of incurring extras during
construction pertaining to soil and
groundwater issues. If unfavorable
conditions do exist, GESTRA consults
with the respective party by
providing recommendations for
remediation options. The costs
associated with subsurface
remediation can make or break a
project, however, if known up front,
the project will be a success. |
