Geotechnical Engineering

With a 50-year track record of underground engineering excellence, we provide engineering design and construction services for foundations, tunnels, dams, utilities/transmission structures/substations, marine/waterfront facilities, bridges, highways, railroads, airports, various building developments, and temporary underground structures.

Originally founded as a soils and foundations specialty consultant, GZA has grown to provide environmental, ecological, water and construction management services. Yet our roots remain in the subsurface, and we have continued to maintain our excellence for providing geotechnical solutions.

Our geotechnical design services start with a thorough review of the site history, followed by a carefully tailored site and subsurface exploration program and development of solutions for design and construction of the type of foundations and/or associated geotechnical services for each project.  Our solutions are based on a combination of engineering experience and expertise, innovation, sensitivity to client needs, and responsiveness tailored to the specific permitting, structural or construction constraints associated with each site.
