GN Northern's geotechnical engineers have completed comprehensive
investigations that have provided reasonable and dependable design
and construction recommendations. A strong project management
concept is followed from start to the completion of the project.
construction projects have used GN Northern's geotechnical expertise
in program development, site reconnaissance, field exploration,
field and laboratory testing, geotechnical evaluation, construction
quality control and testing.
GN Northern's geotechnical engineering assignments have ranged
from small residential site investigations to commercial facilities
(including construction or additions to high and low-rise building
structures), public usage structures (including wastewater treatment
plants, water storage tanks, electrical sub-stations, communication
towers), industrial facilities (including heavily loaded or dynamically
loaded foundations), utilities (includes high pressure gas pipelines,
sewer and drainage structures, transmission poles, power generating
plants, municipal facilities), and transportation facilities (includes
bridges, roadways, parking areas, airport runways and taxiways).
The firm has also provided civil engineering service for residential
and commercial development projects. Our engineers utilize codes
established various cities and counties. Civil engineering services
include selection of an adequate drainage system, development
of site grading and drainage plans, roadway and street design,
and utilities connection design. Civil engineering services are
performed in conjunction with the architect's site plan. Our engineers
provide assistance during rezoning and permitting phases. Plans
and drawings are generated on Autocad release 14.
In addition, our environmental engineering expertise has been
playing an increasing role in many projects. GN Northern has provided
underground storage tank site assessment services, environmental
site assessments for real estate transactions, consultation for
hazardous waste compliance issues, site renovation and remedial
design, and landfill monitoring and design. Additionally, our
staff has worked extensively on groundwater and hydrogeologic
projects throughout eastern and central Washington and eastern
Oregon.
Environmental clients have included individual property owners,
public agencies and corporations. Our goal is similar, regardless
of the client: Provide an adequate assessment or action for a
site, while controlling the project cost and completing the project
in a timely manner.
GN Northern's modern and state-of-the-art material testing laboratory
facilities and equipment allow testing of samples collected in
the field. Registered professional engineers then evaluate the
results of field investigations and laboratory testing to provide
accurate and cost-effective solutions to our client's needs.
GN Northern's laboratory has a quality control program in place
to meet the specifications of ASTM standards. In the
implementation of this program, our construction materials testing
equipment has been calibrated to traceable standards. GN Northern
is a WABO (Washington Association of Building Officials) registered
special inspection agency. Our testing laboratories meet the requirements of ASTM e329 "standard
practice for use in the evaluation of testing and inspection agencies
as used in construction". Our laboratories are also us army
corps of engineers inspected and approved.
Due to the geographic locations of our offices, price structure
and satisfactory past performance on construction projects we
are confident that we will provide timely, cost-effective and
high quality engineering and testing services for your projects.
We are dedicated to providing a personal relationship with our
clients in order to fulfill their needs in a timely manner and
within stated budget.
