Services
Acoustics Analysis
Our acoustics analysis services address noise pollution challenges across industries. We provide environmental noise studies, structural acoustics assessments, and custom mitigation solutions. With 3,500+ technical assessments completed, our laboratory capabilities include advanced sound modeling and vibration analysis using GPS-synchronized atomic time standards.
Vibration Monitoring
We specialize in vibration analysis for construction, transportation, and industrial applications. Our services include blast response mitigation, seismic testing, and structural dynamics assessments. Using proprietary tools like the R-Wave model, we predict and control vibration impacts with high precision for infrastructure projects.
Environmental Compliance
Our compliance services cover CEQA/NEPA requirements with environmental impact reports, air quality conformity studies, and photometric assessments. We help clients navigate regulatory frameworks through comprehensive planning and documentation that balances development needs with environmental protection.
Forensic Engineering
We conduct forensic investigations grounded in physical science fundamentals. Our team performs kinetic and kinematic analyses for accident reconstruction, construction defect evaluation, and failure analysis. We also provide expert witness testimony and scientific demonstrations for legal proceedings.
GIS Mapping
Our GIS solutions integrate with environmental and engineering projects through spatial data analysis and mapping. We support infrastructure planning, environmental assessments, and historical preservation efforts with accurate geospatial information systems tailored to project requirements.
