Geotechnical Services

Geotechnical EngineeringA wide variety of our clients will call upon a professional geotechnical engineer in advance of structural design projects, bridges or earthen construction that requires an in-depth knowledge of soil and bedrock conditions. MM&A's geotechnical engineers have experience working in the power, mining, construction and environmental industries. Moreover, staff engineers provide peer review reporting should your project manager require verification or integrity checks from an unaffiliated party.

Typical assignments include:

• Fly ash impoundment designs
• Solid waste, dam-related projects
• Identifying conditions that create “failure” in earthen structures
• Developing designs for earthen structures based on sound engineering design principles

Ash Disposal/Utilization & Permitting
MM&A offers a full range of services associated with the handling and disposal of ash waste materials, derived from the burning of coal, municipal solid waste and similar projects. The experience and innovation of our professional staff has provided a variety of unique construction concepts related to coal refuse and ash waste materials that factor sensitive environmental constraints in the design.

Geotechnical engineers consult with staff professionals who have expertise in a wide variety of fields, including energy identification and development, environmental remediation, water and waste water design, construction management and real estate transactions to ensure that all engineering aspects are considered.

The recent failure of an impoundment at a government-owned facility required the unique expertise of MM&A engineer, Mr. William S. "Bill" Almes. Click to read more.
