Exposed bedrock and steep hillside geology in Southern California

GEOTECHNICAL & GEOLOGICAL SERVICES · SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

Before you invest in the property, understand the ground.

Integrated Geo Consultants provides coordinated geotechnical, soils-engineering and engineering-geologic consulting for residential and commercial projects—from property due diligence through investigation, design, permitting and construction.

INTEGRATED PRACTICE

One project. Two disciplines. One coordinated technical path.

Site development rarely separates neatly into “soil” and “geology.” IGC coordinates engineering-geologic and geotechnical/soils-engineering services so subsurface conditions, slope geometry, foundations, grading, retaining systems, hazards and agency requirements are evaluated as one project.

Professional services are performed by the appropriately licensed engineering geologist and soils/geotechnical engineering professionals working through IGC’s coordinated consulting team.

CORE SERVICES

Ground conditions translated into project decisions.

All services →

Coordinated geotechnical investigation, soils engineering, foundation and grading recommendations, and construction support.

02

Engineering Geology

Field mapping, geologic interpretation, site characterization, and development-focused engineering geologic services.

03

Slope Stability Analysis

Evaluation of hillside geometry, subsurface conditions, landslides, adverse bedding, retaining systems, and slope constraints.

04

Geologic & Seismic Hazards

Fault rupture, liquefaction, landslides, seismic setting, erosion, expansive soils, and related geologic hazards.

05

Development & Permitting

Technical support for grading, foundations, retaining walls, plan check, permitting, agency response, and construction.

06

Property Due Diligence

Early geotechnical and geological screening before acquisition, design commitment, or major site investment.

RESIDENTIAL

Homes, hillside development & property decisions.

New residences, additions, remodels, vacant-land feasibility, slope distress, retaining walls, foundations, grading, due diligence and permit response.

REPRESENTATIVE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Experience across residential, commercial, military, transportation and geophysical work.

Representative career experience includes U.S. Marine Corps communications tower sites, geophysical work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, San Nicolas Island, MCAS El Toro and MCAS Tustin, Templin Highway / Caltrans project work, commercial development, and landslide remediation at Point Mugu.

Project references describe professional experience and do not imply that every named agency or owner directly retained Integrated Geo Consultants.

SERVICE AREA + SITE INTELLIGENCE

Southern California geology is local.

Our focus includes Los Angeles and Ventura Counties and surrounding Southern California communities where active tectonics, hillside terrain, landslides, liquefaction, complex bedrock and agency review can materially affect development.
