GeoTechnical Engineering

McGehee Engineering Corp. offers a wide range of services for all of your geotechnical engineering, construction materials testing, soil testing and drilling needs. We provide support for mining, residential, commercial, and industrial jobs. Our engineering staff follows a project from start to finish. We ensure that quality data gathering techniques are applied so sufficient sampling is achieved. Once proper sampling and testing is done, we use the field and laboratory data, along with geotechnical engineering theory, software, and good solid engineering judgment to meet the needs of the project.

MEC’s geotechnical engineering services consist of geotechnical engineering investigations, geologic mapping and fault studies, and geologic investigations.
