Without a doubt, one of NCS' greatest strengths is our advanced analysis and design capabilities. We have over $25,000 worth of geotechnical software, and gigabytes of custom spreadsheets and programs to perform cutting edge geotechnical design calculations.

More importantly than that, we have over 60 combined years of experience in engineering practice, and the technical background to successfully apply these tools to get the job done right.

By glancing at our resumes, you might assume that with all of the advanced degrees that NCS is staffed by "academics", but take a look at the projects we have been involved in, and you will be certain that we are engineers in the truest sense of the word: applying science in practice.

We have experience in design with nearly every type of geotechnical project including bridges, embankments, pavements, conventional retaining walls, soil nail and MSE walls, hybrid walls, tiebacks and anchors, micropiles, ground improvement, seepage, dam safety and inspection, finite element analysis, slope stability, rockfall, shallow foundations, forensic analysis, and emergency repairs.

Part of our design and analysis on every project is a very rigorous QA/QC process, including an independent technical review. Additionally, we recognize the critical importance of effectively communicating results of our analyses to both technical and non-technical personnel and we stand proudly behind the quality of our reports, drawings and specifications.

Quite often engineers in the geotechnical community blindly apply "cookbook" methods to problems without truly understanding the implications, sometimes without even understanding the problem! By selecting NCS as your geotechnical engineer you can be assured of the hightest quality product, with consideration given to the state of the practice and the state of the art!
