What is under a piece of property can be as important as what is on it. This is especially important when construction is being considered or when there may be contamination of soil or ground water. Properly performed geotechnical engineering characterizes the properties of earth materials and predicts the reaction to loading conditions, resulting in improved foundation design, fast- track construction time, lower costs, reduced delays, and increased awareness of environmental risks.

HARCO is developing to be a leading expert in the geotechnical engineering field. It completed a number of geotechnical studies on several large projects across the Middle East.

HARCO Geotechnical team understands the challenges and frustrations companies face. Our professionals have an in-depth understanding of pertinent regulatory issues. We provide a commonsense approach and viable solutions that bring cost-effective options to the table.

HARCO maintains a fleet of drill rigs of various sizes and types with full support equipment, in addition to our professional drilling crews.

We routinely provide professional drilling in support of other engineering and environmental organizations during the implementation of projects. Time-efficient scheduling and the ability to mobilize within hours the appropriate equipment and crew are benefits of our professional drilling services.

As technical experts in the industry, we offer our clients innovative technologies such as cone penetrometer testing with our Mobile In-Site Lab, facilitating immediate results through on-site data analysis and reduction. We keep our equipment well-maintained, resulting in fewer breakdowns and less down time than others in the industry.

HARCO provides Special Inspection services throughout the Middle East. Our role in projects is to verify and make sure that the construction methods and materials con- form to applicable building code requirements, design drawings/plans, and job specifications, while working closely with the design professionals and other project team leaders throughout the duration of the project.

Because our facilities are so complete, our Inspectors have all the support they need both in equipment and expertise. Our Certified Inspectors provide on-site observation, materials monitoring and testing, corrective actions, and comprehensive detailed recordkeeping for current follow-up and future inquiries. When required, HARCO can provide an on-site field office and mobile laboratory to accommodate fast-tract construction schedules.
