Geo Congress 2020 Terracon Booth 303
February 25-28
Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minn.

Meet the Terracon team at booth 303

When you hire a geotechnical engineer, you look for someone who can drill soil borings, run laboratory tests, and deliver a report within a reasonable time frame. You expect field and laboratory data delivered along with the engineer’s site preparation and foundation design opinions. Meet our team and learn how Terracon is transforming the way you think about geotechnical conditions during site selection and due diligence. With more than 150 offices serving clients in all 50 states, our teams are ready to help you on your next project.
