Geotechnical Engineering
THE FOUNDATION OF SOUND DESIGN
Nichols Consulting Engineers, Chtd. (NCE) provides a broad spectrum of geotechnical engineering services for public infrastructure and private development projects. The geotechnical staff has been involved in providing services for bridges, refineries, large commercial buildings (technology complexes and university buildings), hospitals, power plants, dams, landfills, water treatment plants, commercial freight rail, and public transit.
Geotechnical recommendations can have significant implications to a structure’s performance, as well as material and building costs. Therefore, we strive to provide practical and economical solutions tailored to the specific needs of a project. Our geotechnical engineering staff understands the importance and partnering with clients and other design team members, especially structural engineers. Clear communication allows for a better defined scope which gives projects better design parameters and often proves more cost effective.
