Before You Invest In Construction, Know What's Beneath the Surface
We help clients answer critical questions before construction begins:
✓ Will site conditions increase construction costs?
✓ Are there foundation concerns?
✓ Is there unsuitable fill on the property?
✓ Could groundwater delay development?
✓ What risks should be addressed before permitting and construction?
From groundbreaking to final inspection, GeoWerks Engineering delivers comprehensive solutions across the Southeastern United States, ensuring your project remains on schedule and within budget.

Large-Firm Expertise. Small-Firm Responsiveness
When you work with GeoWerks, you’re not routed through layers of project managers.
You’ll have direct access to experienced engineers who understand your project and respond quickly when decisions need to be made.
Their team is responsive, professional, and practical. Reports and recommendations are clear and useful for decision-making, and they help keep projects on track without unnecessary costs. If you need reliable geotechnical engineering, environmental site assessment, or materials testing support in the Metro Atlanta / Southeast area, GeoWerks is a strong choice we would recommend."
With our geotechnical engineering services, we can answer the most common and less understood construction questions prior to you making a significant investment. For example:
Can you build on the current site?
Will groundwater or shallow rock impact development?
Will the soils support the building or will problems increase the cost of construction?
Has the site been developed before?
If so, is there any previously placed fill?
Is it suitable for support or poorly compacted?
Retaining walls play a critical role in managing grade changes, creating usable space, and protecting structures from soil movement.
Whether you’re developing a commercial site, building a custom home on a sloped lot, or enhancing a high-end landscape project, proper engineering is essential to long-term performance.
GeoWerks provides geotechnical recommendations and engineering support for retaining walls of all sizes, helping owners, developers, contractors, and landscape professionals understand site conditions before construction begins.
Our team evaluates subsurface soils, groundwater conditions, slope stability, and earth pressures to develop recommendations that support safe, practical, and cost-effective retaining wall solutions. We work closely with project teams to identify potential challenges early, reducing the risk of excessive movement, drainage issues, costly repairs, or construction delays. From segmental block walls and cast-in-place concrete walls to mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) systems and specialty applications, we provide the geotechnical insight needed to support successful wall design and construction.
Environmental due diligence is about more than regulatory compliance—it’s about understanding risk before making significant investment decisions.
Environmental concerns can impact property acquisitions, development, renovation, and demolition projects.
GeoWerks helps clients identify potential liabilities early through Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs), UST investigations, hazardous materials surveys, and other due diligence services.
Our practical approach helps reduce risk, maintain compliance, and keep projects moving forward with confidence.
GeoWerks Engineering provides construction materials testing, special inspections, and geotechnical support services that help project teams build with confidence.
Our experienced engineers, technicians, and inspectors deliver independent verification of critical construction activities, helping owners, developers, contractors, lenders, and design professionals reduce risk, maintain compliance, and keep projects on schedule.
Our services support projects throughout the construction process, including:
• Soil and earthwork testing and compaction control
• Concrete, masonry, and grout testing
• Foundation and reinforcing steel inspections
• Structural steel and welding inspections
• Post-tension and wood framing inspections
• Asphalt pavement testing and evaluations
• Deep foundation load testing
• Specialty inspections and quality assurance services
With responsive service, certified personnel, a state-of the art lab, and a commitment to quality, GeoWerks Engineering provides the testing and inspection expertise needed to help ensure your project is built to specification.
Our reports are easy to read, detailed, and can be customized to your specific project need. The extent of the investigation can be adjusted to fit your risk level and budget.
