The "Foundation" of our Geotechnical Work

Mr. Lopez of NCS working with the split spoon sampler on the I-10: St. Mary's to 29th project. <strong><a href='/photos/index.php?a=i10sm29'>Click here for more photos in this album.</a></strong> A good geotechnical field and laboratory investigation is the "foundation" of any geotechnical design recommendations. As with many other things, geotechnical design is "garbage in garbage out". An example of helicopter moves for extreme difficult access drilling. <strong><a href='/photos/index.php?a=banjobill'>Click here for more photos in this album.</a></strong> The design recommendations are only as good as the input data that comes from the geotechnical investigation.

NCS has performed countless investigations, and is well suited to handle even the most demanding of investigation requirements. Whether it is site reconnaissance and geologic mapping, standard truck mounted hollow stem auger drilling, air rotary (Tubex / Stratex / Odex), track-mounted difficult access, Drilling on the Red Mountain Freeway (Loop 202L): University to Southern project. <strong><a href='/photos/index.php?a=redmountain'>Click here for more photos in this album.</a></strong> extreme dificult access drilling/coring with helicopter mobilizations, we are prepared to do whatever is necessary to obtain the appropriate surface and subsurface information.

Drilling with limited access drill rig on the US 60 - Pinto Valley project. The slope the rig was setup on was approximately 1.5H:1V. <strong><a href='/photos/index.php?a=pinto'>Click here for more photos in this album.</a></strong> Although NCS does not operate it's own drill rigs and geotechnical testing laboratory, we maintain close personal and working relationships with several of the best drillers and labs in Arizona and nationwide. We closely monitor the work that these trusted subconsultants do for us, and we go above and beyond in our data analysis and reduction.

Many of the borings on the I10: St. Mary's to 29th project were performed at night because of traffic control considerations. <strong><a href='/photos/index.php?a=i10sm29'>Click here for more photos in this album.</a></strong>
