Geotechnical Engineering  ProjectsThe Piedmont and Coastal Plain geology of the Atlantic region consists of highly variable subsurface conditions ranging from soft coastal deposits to massive bedrock. Dealing with the design and construction challenges presented by these conditions has been a cornerstone of Duffield Associates' practice since our founding. With a collaborative approach that fosters innovative, holistic solutions, our team of professional engineers, geologists, and scientists balance client cost and risk as they innovatively tackle the design and construction challenges of this complex geology.

Services provided include:
  • Foundation Design/Studies
  • Soft Soil Evaluations
  • Offshore Sampling
  • Engineering Geology
  • Dam Evaluations
  • Waterfront/Marine Engineering
  • Manufactured Soil Design
  • Pavement Design and Maintenance
  • Geotechnical Instrumentation
  • Geotechnical Site Evaluations
  • Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Structures Design
  • Geosynthetics Design
  • Forensic Engineering
  • Expert Testimony
  • AASHTO Certified Laboratory

Our areas of expertise also include the following LEED credits:

  • Materials Reuse and Recycled Content to maximize use of recycled materials (e.g. fly ash, recycled concrete) and promote recycling rather than disposal.
  • Infiltration studies associated with progressive storm water and waste water management solutions.
