GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
Understanding Orlando’s unique foundation conditions is crucial for safe and successful construction projects. And unlike other parts of Florida, Orlando straddles two distinct geological regions: the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the Brooksville Ridge. This means soil properties, water tables, and potential geohazards can vary significantly even within city limits. These variations challenge engineers to apply the principles of geotechnical engineering in a way that’s specific to Orlando’s unique subsurface environment.
At NOVA Engineering, our team of geotechnical engineers are experts in Orlando’s subsurface environment. We have decades of experience providing a suite of geotechnical services for projects throughout the metro area. Our local knowledge ensures we identify potential issues early on and develop cost-effective solutions specific to your project.

The Importance of Geotechnical Engineering
The hidden world beneath your Orlando project site holds the key to its success. Subsurface conditions like soil composition can significantly impact foundation design, site preparation costs, and the overall viability of your structure. A thorough geotechnical investigation can save you time and money down the road. By proactively identifying challenges early on, we can develop strategies that can potentially save you 10 to 100 times the initial investment in geotechnical engineering.
