Frequently Asked Questions About Engineering Services in Tampa, FL
What makes NOVA different from other engineering firms serving Tampa?
Since 1996, NOVA has built a reputation as Tampa's most responsive and trusted engineering firm. Our commitment to Excellence, Collaboration, Integrity, Responsiveness, and Safety sets us apart. We invest heavily in our employees—our most valuable asset—and maintain nationally accredited laboratories that meet ASTM C-1077, E-329 and D-3666 standards. We also participate in AASHTO's Materials Reference Laboratory Sample Reference Proficiency Program. With two conveniently located offices in Tampa, we can respond quickly to projects throughout Tampa and Hillsborough County. This combination of experienced professionals, quality assurance, local presence, and deep understanding of Tampa's environmental and geotechnical landscape makes NOVA the preferred choice for Tampa's design and construction community.
Does NOVA understand Tampa's unique coastal and geological conditions?
Absolutely. Subsurface conditions play a huge role when it comes to planning and developing a major construction project. Conditions vary from area to area, so it's critical to engage geotechnical engineers who've worked in the region and who know the characteristics of the groundwater, soil, and rock and how they affect construction. The team of geotechnical engineers in our Tampa office are experienced in working in the area and fully understand the conditions facing your project. Tampa's proximity to water creates unique foundation conditions for large structures, and their potential stability depends on a careful site analysis. NOVA Engineering's Tampa-based geotechnical engineering team has the regional expertise to get your project off on solid footing.
