Built for Construction. Backed by Experience.
At GEMS, we know that solid ground is the start of every successful build. Our geotechnical engineering team is built for contractors—focused on real-world conditions, fast answers, and solutions that work on-site, not just on paper.
From pre-design investigations to construction-phase support, we deliver clear, practical recommendations that help you move dirt, dig deep, and build with confidence. Whether you’re dealing with tricky subsurface conditions, deep excavations, or foundation design, we’ve been there—and we know how to keep things moving. Our services include:
- Subsurface investigations (boreholes, test pits, in-situ testing)
- Foundation design and load-bearing assessments
- Excavation and shoring reviews
- Temporary works support (crane pads, scaffolding, hoarding)
- Backfill recommendations and compaction testing
- Pile and caisson monitoring
- On-site troubleshooting when conditions change
We don’t over-engineer. We don’t disappear after the report. We stay involved through construction, responding quickly when challenges arise and helping your team make smart, timely decisions.
Designed for Buildability
We tailor every recommendation with constructability in mind. Our engineers work closely with your team—site supervisors, project managers, structural engineers, and environmental consultants—to flag issues early, reduce rework, and keep your schedule intact.
We also coordinate with municipal reviewers, conservation authorities, and utility stakeholders to help you get the green light without unnecessary delays. Whether you’re working on a design-build, value engineering, or alternative construction method, we’re here to support your scope, your schedule, and your budget.
Let’s Build Smarter, Together
At GEMS, we believe in building relationships as strong as the foundations we help design. Our geotechnical team is responsive, reliable, and easy to work with. We speak your language, show up when it counts, and make sure our recommendations hold up in the field—not just in the report.
If you need a geotechnical partner who understands construction realities and keeps your project moving—GEMS is ready.
