Geotechnical Engineering Services
Geotex Engineering provides comprehensive geotechnical engineering solutions to help you understand and manage the unique challenges associated with the ground conditions of your construction projects. Our team of experienced geotechnical engineers utilizes state-of-the-art technology and industry best practices to deliver reliable and cost-effective solutions. From site investigations to foundation design, we are committed to ensuring the success and safety of your projects.
With a staff of seasoned professionals, a drilling rig fleet, and a considerable range of in-house laboratory capabilities, Geotex stands ready to tackle demanding and challenging projects.
Engineering
In addition to typical foundation, retaining wall, earthwork and pavement recommendations, the Geotex team is skilled in optimizing foundation designs developed through instrumented load testing of both drilled shaft and augured cast-in-place pile (ACIP) foundations. The staff has a successful track record of developing prudently economical pavement designs for TxDOT, Municipal and Commercial clients.

Laboratory
The Geotex geotechnical laboratory is accredited by AASHTO, TxDOT and the US Army Corps of Engineers, and is staffed by TxDOT certified technicians. Our laboratory staff routinely performs Index Property, Strength, Volume Change and Chemical Property tests on soil and bedrock samples from across Texas, Oklahoma, and anywhere else our drill crews go.Drilling
Geotex Drill crews operate a fleet of 6 truck, track and ATV-mounted drilling rigs, the newest addition being a Mobile B-57 track-mounted rig, an upgraded version of our 2015 B-57 truck mounted rig. Our crews have completed thousands of geotechnical drilling projects in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado, some extending up to 600-ft depth. In addition to geotechnical drilling, our crews have completed resource investigations, drilling and sampling soils and bedrock strata for various mining operations.
