Highways & Bridges
In addition to traditional geotechnical, environmental and construction materials engineering services, specialized highway and bridge services have included oversight and evaluation of pile dynamic evaluation, load testing of piles and drilled shafts (including statnamic testing) and lateral load testing of driven steel piles. Terracon has also provided extensive instrumentation for settlement observation, pile loading and slope stability.
Terracon has been instrumental in developing solutions to control roadbed and bridge settlement using extensive wick drain installation and monitoring settlement using pneumatic pore pressure transducers and magnet read switches.
