Building on Solid Ground.

Every successful construction project begins with a reliable foundation — and that foundation starts with a comprehensive geotechnical investigation. At Sandia Geotechnical Services (Sandia GEO), we provide the critical subsurface data engineers and developers need to design safe, durable, and cost‑effective structures. 

With more than 25 years of experience, our team understands the unique soil conditions of the Southwest. From expansive clays in New Mexico to the complex desert soils of Arizona, we deliver accurate, site‑specific insights that help prevent costly surprises down the road.

Why a Geotechnical Investigation Matters 

A new construction geotechnical investigation is more than a soil report — it’s the blueprint for your foundation’s long‑term stability. By analyzing both surface and subsurface conditions, we provide the data needed to: 

  • Determine soil composition, density, and moisture content 

  • Evaluate bearing capacity and settlement characteristics 

  • Identify potential risks such as expansive soils or groundwater issues 

  • Ensure foundation designs meet safety and performance standards

Our Process

  1. Site Assessment – Initial evaluation to define scope and identify areas of concern

  2. Soil Sampling – Collection of samples from multiple depths using specialized drilling equipment

  3. Laboratory Testing – Analysis of soil properties including compaction, shear strength, and classification

  4. Data Analysis – Integration of field and lab results to establish accurate soil parameters for design
