GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

An understanding of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions in a specific area is essential to our company. Depending on the geographical distance and even within the same project site, conditions may differ substantially.

Kennesaw lies at the intersection of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain geological regions, geotechnical engineering in Kennesaw is different than in other parts of Georgia and South Carolina. Although the subsurface conditions in these two geologic regions differ considerably, NOVA’s geotechnical engineers have decades of experience working in both of these geological regions and at sites in the Kennesaw Metropolitan Statistical Area. With a combination of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions that are so unique, the success of your project depends on people who understand those conditions.

EVALUATING SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS

The site’s subsurface conditions are key to successful project design, construction, and planning. As well as foundation, slab, and pavement support conditions, site preparation, and grading represent some of the largest variables in construction cost. In order to properly evaluate subsurface conditions and to determine the most cost-effective solutions for grading and structural support, a geotechnical engineer is a crucial resource. By choosing the right firm for your project, you can save 10 to 100 times the amount you spend on geotechnical engineering. NOVA Engineering’s team of geotechnical engineers has extensive knowledge of the subsurface conditions in Kennesaw and the surrounding locations and will apply that knowledge to the construction of your project.

As part of our due diligence process, we help you with planning, design, and inspection work during construction. If you are interested in discussing your project with our geotechnical engineers near Kennesaw, GA please contact us.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING GROUNDED IN KNOWLEDGE OF KENNESAW, GA

Geotechnical engineering provides a foundation for successful ventures based on the prospect site’s geological characteristics. Our engineers are among the best in the country and apply their expertise on a range of major projects throughout the Southeast and beyond.

Some recent geotechnical engineering projects near Kennesaw include the following:

  • Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, North Druid Hills Campus, Brookhaven, GA – The 70-acre Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Campus at North Druid Hills will feature Arthur M. Blank Hospital and attached clinic building, the Center for Advanced Pediatrics, a Support Center, and more than 20 acres of green space. The campus also includes three staff and public parking decks, a central unit plant, pedestrian and vehicular bridges crossing creeks, paved surface parking lots, underground stormwater detention structures, and more than 3 miles of sidewalks. Construction completion is estimated at 2025.
  • J-327 Georgia State University, Convocation Center, Atlanta, GA – The new 131,729 GSF Georgia State University Convocation Center is located in the east-central portion of the site. The multi-use facility provides up to 8,000 seats for hosting commencement, public events, and Panthers’ basketball near Georgia State Stadium.
  • 760 Ralph McGill Mixed-Use Development, Atlanta, GA – The Project features a boutique hotel, 500,000 square feet of residential (with 10 to 15 percent affordable housing due to new inclusionary zoning laws for that area), 25,000 square feet of commercial space, and 1,250 parking spaces with a parking deck.

Other large projects in Georgia that demonstrate our range of expertise include:

  • Georgia Department of Transportation Design-Build Bridge Bundles, GA – NOVA Engineering is the geotechnical engineer of record for 21 of the 25 bridges in this innovative GDOT procurement and bridge replacement project.
  • Truist Park and Mixed-Use Development, Atlanta, GA – NOVA is providing geotechnical and materials testing services for the new Atlanta Braves Ballpark, parking deck, and surrounding mixed-use development. Truist Park will have 41,500 seats and is designed to maximize sightlines, making every seat feel like the “best in the house”. The Braves will open the 2017 season at SunTrust Park.
  • 760 Ralph McGill Mixed-Use Development, Atlanta, GA – The Project features a boutique hotel, 500,000 square feet of residential (with 10 to 15 percent affordable housing due to new inclusionary zoning laws for that area), 25,000 square feet of commercial space, and 1,250 parking spaces with a parking deck.
