Geotechnical Solutions
AGS provides geotechnical investigation and sediment characterization services to evaluate subsurface strength, composition, and suitability for coastal, offshore, and land-based projects. Our geotechnical work supports safe, data-driven design for dredging, restoration, monitoring, and construction by delivering defensible subsurface data aligned with engineering and regulatory requirements.
Services Include
​Geotechnical Laboratory Analysis & Soil Classification
Laboratory testing and classification of soil and sediment samples to evaluate engineering properties, material behavior, and subsurface conditions. Supports foundation design, site characterization, and informed project decision-making.
Standard Penetration Testing (SPT)
Collection and analysis of in-situ subsurface data through Standard Penetration Testing to evaluate soil strength and stratigraphy. Provides critical information for foundation design, geotechnical assessments, and construction planning.
Core Sampling & Logging
Collection, logging, and interpretation of sediment cores to characterize subsurface conditions and material variability. Supports geotechnical investigations, sediment studies, and coastal or marine project development.
Offshore Borrow Area Design & Composite Development
Integration and interpretation of geotechnical, geophysical, and environmental datasets to identify and evaluate suitable borrow resources. Supports borrow area design, resource assessments, and project planning for coastal restoration and nourishment projects.
