Above: Chilson Commons Commercial Center in Hamburg, Michigan. PEA completed 23 test borings for this site, ranging in depth from 10 to 30 feet. Since the site is hilly and partially wooded, the field investigation portion of the project required use of an Off-the-Road drill rig and selective clearing to access boring locations.

PEA maintains a geotechnical testing laboratory to determine soil parameters. While our firm concentrates on the engineering aspects of geotechnical services, we subcontract the drilling, in order to match equipment and skill to the project.

PEA evaluates subsurface conditions as they relate to earthwork operations, foundations and other aspects of subsurface construction.
