Professional Services

CLG offers a comprehensive range of engineering consulting services to meet the diverse needs of our clients in engineering geology and geotechnical engineering field. Our commitment to quality and innovation sets us apart in the industry.

Engineering Geology

Engineering geology is crucial in hillside property development, especially in the seismically active Southern California region, as it evaluates the stability of slopes, subsurface geological structure conditions, and potential geological hazards. By performing qualitative and quantitative geological analyses, our engineering geologists identify geological risks such as landslides or erosion, and recommend effective and necessary mitigation and stabilization measures. CLG provides the following geologic services for our clients:

Regional Aerial Topographic Maps and Geologic Maps Study
Geologic Field Exploration, Mapping and Downhole Logging
Comprehensive Geologic and Seismic Hazards Evaluation
Faulting and Seismicity Study
Slope Stability Analysis
Stereographic Projection Analysis
Rock Mechanics and Hydrologic Study

Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical engineering focuses on analyzing the properties of subsurface earth materials to ensure stable and safe foundation subgrade for construction projects. By studying subsurface conditions, our geotechnical engineers provide design solutions to prevent issues like foundation settlement and structural failures, ensuring the safety of construction and the durability and integrity of buildings. Our geotechnical engineering services include:

Foundation Evaluation and Design
Foundation Settlement Analyses
Earthquake-Induced Liquefaction Analysis
Lateral Design for Retaining Structures
Temporary Shoring Evaluation
Soils Mechanics and Groundwater Evaluation

Slope Stability and Liquefaction Analyses

In residential and commercial development, slope stability and liquefaction analyses are crucial for ensuring safety and structural integrity. Slope stability analysis helps prevent landslides and failures by assessing and mitigating risks related to steep or altered terrain. Liquefaction analysis evaluates the potential for soil to behave like a liquid during an earthquake, which is essential for designing stable foundations in areas with loose, water-saturated soils. Both analyses are key to protecting investments and ensuring the safety of occupants. Our skilled geologists and geotechnical engineers conduct detailed slope stability analyses and liquefaction analyses, ensuring robust and secure foundations for the development projects in the earthquake-induced landslide and liquefaction zones.
