    5/5

    RSB Environmental is a great company, they are easy to work with and handle all our Environmental needs in a friendly professional way. I would recommend RSB Environmental for all your company’s environmental needs.

    RSB Environmental is Licensed Engineering Firm and performs geotechnical soil studies for a wide variety of public and private improvements including:
    Houston SWPPP Construction
    RSB wetland

    Our geotechnical investigations use a variety of site exploratory techniques including exploratory drilling, test excavations, and cone penetration testing.

    All inspecting and testing is performed under the supervision of a professional engineer.

    A typical geotechnical investigation or soil testing is conducted to provide data and parameters that could be used for the design and construction of foundations for the proposed building.

    We offer efficient, reliable services in geotechnical drilling and engineering services, geotechnical design consulting, construction material testing and inspection. Let our experienced professionals evaluate your residential, commercial, industrial or public works project.

    Geotechnical services to include soil borings, field soil testing, laboratory soil testing, geotechnical engineering analysis and developing foundation engineering and pavement design recommendations for various structures including buildings, pavements, retaining walls, etc.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Conducting tests on soils provides essential information about the ground’s properties and characteristics. Understanding aspects like soil density, strength, and consolidation can determine how the ground will support your structure. It ensures safety, longevity, and can also save on potential future costs by preventing structural issues that arise from unfavorable subsurface conditions.

    Geotechnical engineers collect soil samples from various depths at the construction site. Through laboratory tests, they identify the type, size, and order of the soil particles present. These tests reveal properties such as strength, density, and consolidation potential. Based on the results, engineers can predict how these soil types might behave under the weight of a structure, guiding decisions about the foundation’s design and depth.

    Soil density refers to the compactness of soil particles in a sample. It provides insights into how much load or pressure the soil can bear. A suitable soil density is crucial because it affects the stability of your structure. If the soil is too loose or has low density, it might lead to excessive settling or even structural failure. Knowing the density ensures that the foundation is designed to support the structure effectively.

    Different depths and locations within a site can have varying soil characteristics. Multiple samples ensure a comprehensive understanding of the entire site’s subsurface conditions. It helps in identifying potential challenges, like varying soil strength or water tables. Testing multiple samples ensures accuracy, helps in making informed decisions, and mitigates risks during construction.

    The test results provide a detailed profile of the ground on which you plan to build. By understanding properties such as soil strength, density, and type, engineers can recommend the right type of foundation, its size, and depth. They might also offer insights on drainage needs, potential ground treatments, or even suggest alternative construction methods. Essentially, these results ensure your project is built on a strong and stable foundation, tailored to the site’s specific conditions.
