Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical Engineering utilizes the disciplines of rock and soil mechanics to investigate and evaluate subsurface geologic conditions. Geotechnical investigations are used to design and construct foundations, earth structures and pavement sub-grades. Material Testing Services has been providing geotechnical engineering services in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana for over 25 years.
