Geotechnical Hazard Assessment

Identify Ground Risks Before They Become Construction Problems

SUBINCO evaluates geotechnical hazards that can affect performance, constructability, and long-term reliability — then translates those findings into practical engineering actions.

01 · SEE THE RISK

What may be happening below the site?

A clear visual helps clients quickly understand how hidden subsurface conditions can affect the structure above.

Cross-section: building distress above shallow groundwater, weak or variable soils, and a void / sinkhole
02 · DEFINE THE HAZARD

Typical conditions we evaluate

Expansive soils
Soft / compressible soils
Undocumented fill
Shallow groundwater
Slope instability
Sinkholes / voids
Loose / saturated soils
Corrosive soils
03 · TURN DATA INTO ACTION

From evidence to engineering decisions

Field Evidence Borings · sampling · groundwater observations · geophysics
Engineering Interpretation Define hazard type, extent, severity, and likely project impact
Mitigation Strategy Foundation, earthwork, drainage, excavation, or ground improvement recommendations
Reduce Uncertainty Identify important subsurface risks before construction begins.
Support Better Design Provide site-specific engineering information and practical alternatives.
Reduce Costly Surprises Address potential ground problems before they become field changes or repairs.

From Ground Risk to a Practical Engineering Plan

The goal is not simply to identify a hazard — it is to determine what it means for the project and what can reasonably be done about it.
