Geotechnical investigation in Savannah, Georgia must address the unique challenges of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, where soft marine clays, loose alluvial sands, and high groundwater tables demand precise stratigraphic profiling. Our approach integrates high-resolution CPT testing to continuously measure tip resistance and sleeve friction, providing real-time data that aligns with ASTM D5778 standards for classifying soils without the disturbance of traditional sampling.
This phase is critical for foundation design in Port of Savannah logistics centers, mid-rise structures on historic fill, and resilience upgrades to coastal infrastructure. Beyond cone penetration, we incorporate laboratory strength testing and consolidation analysis to model settlement on compressible strata. For projects requiring liquefaction assessment or deep foundation recommendations, our CPT data forms the backbone of a defensible ground model that meets IBC and Georgia EPD requirements.
