Typical Projects

Below are a few examples of our typical projects.

Van Ness Avenue Improvement Project

We performed a utility investigation along Van Ness Avenue to find, mark, and map the unknown mostly abandoned buried pipes that were not marked with the standard USA call.

Santana Row

Prior to new construction at Santana Row, we conducted a magnetic geophysical study to locate, mark, and map buried infrastructure left from the demolition of a shopping center that once occupied the site.

Utility Investigation at Westmont High School

This was one of the many middle and high schools where we perform utility investigations for local surveyors to add accurate underground utility locations to surface survey maps.

Communication Hill Residential Development

Near surface hard bedrock was a potential problem for grading at a residential project on Communication Hill in San Jose. We conducted a seismic refraction survey on the hill to map the depth and strength of the underlying bedrock.
