Excavation Observations
Y2 Geotechnical provides excavation observation services. Excavation observations are a necessary part of geotechnical engineering because of the potential for subsurface conditions to vary between test holes. Excavation observations are used to determine if fill soils remain beneath the structure, evaluate if the soils at the base of the excavation are similar to those envountered during the geotechnical study, and if groundwater is encountered in the excavation, assess what measures should be taken to remove it.
Y2 Geotechnical is pleased to provide these services to the Intermountain West.
Our professional staff of engineers and geologists are here to answer your questions and assist you through the process.
You can depend on us to get your project done quickly and correctly.

liquefaction:
the sudden, large decrease of shear strength of a cohesionless soil cause by collapse of the soil structure, produced by shock or earthquake-induced shear strains, associated with a sudden but temporary increase of pore water pressures. Liquefaction causes the cohesionless soil to behave as a liquid.
