Soils and geology consulting for Santa Clarita properties.

Buying a property or planning a project?

Early review can identify questions to resolve before committing to acquisition or design. Share the site address, available reports, proposed work and any purchase or agency deadline. The appropriate scope depends on the property and the proposed improvements.

IGC supports property due diligence, new residences, additions, commercial development, grading and retaining-wall projects.

Soils investigations and foundation support

Coordinated geotechnical work can include subsurface investigation, laboratory testing coordination, evaluation of ground conditions and engineering recommendations for foundations, grading and retaining systems. Required exploration and testing are established for the project rather than assumed from a general map.

Engineering geology and hillside conditions

For hillside properties, existing slope concerns or proposed grading, engineering-geologic review considers terrain, exposed materials, bedrock structure, prior reports and field observations. Slope stability, suspected landslides, erosion and drainage concerns may require further investigation.

A regional hazard designation is a starting point for review, not a site-specific conclusion.

Reports, plan check and construction

If you have an agency correction letter or an existing consultant report, provide it with the proposed plans. IGC can evaluate the technical questions, coordinate the necessary disciplines and establish a scope for permit response or construction support.
