01
Install
Full geotechnical instrumentation — piezometers, settlement points, inclinometers, extensometers, embankment instruments.
Twin Cities · Apple Valley, Minnesota
One firm from the hole to the weekly pack.
Till, lake clay, peat, fill. We explore it, install the instruments, test it, inspect to the building code, and write the weekly pack — same Apple Valley office. Major contractors and public agencies first. Single-family drilling and exploration still welcome.

Report
The log, the lab sheet, and the weekly pack belong to the same job — and the same people.

- Apple Valley · Twin Cities
- Borings through special inspections
- Pile · pier · helical observation
- Single-family lots through public work
Who calls
Contractors and agencies — and home lots.
We prioritize major contractors and municipal, county, state, and federal work. We still drill and explore for single-family homes and small builders while that work fits the schedule.
Contractors & public
Job sites that need a pack every week.
Instrumentation, vibration and settlement monitoring, CMT, laboratory, and Minnesota Building Code / IBC Chapter 17 special inspections — including observation and documentation of pile, pier, and helical installations.
Homeowners & builders
Single-family drilling and exploration.
Soil borings and test pits for home lots, additions, and small residential foundations. Same PE-led practice, same field crew, same Apple Valley office — classified at the hole, samples back to the same job.
Why the site calls
PE on the work. Same field crew. One office.
Whether it is a corridor subcontract or a single-family boring program, the recommendations and the field work stay with this practice.
A PE on the work
The recommendations, the control plan, and the weekly pack come from the same PE-led practice.
Same field crew
You are not handed a rotating dispatcher and a different tech every pour. Field work stays with this office.
Hole through weekly pack
Borings through skyrise and bridge, full instrumentation, building-code special inspections, CMT, and the laboratory — same Apple Valley firm.

We prioritize work for major contractors and for municipal, county, state, and federal projects. Special inspections follow the Minnesota Building Code (IBC Chapter 17 as adopted). GPR for concrete embeds and thickness is limited to 36 inches of depth. Ask the office which items a given job needs — this is not an accreditation directory.
Software of the practice
Classified at the hole. One job file through the GDR.
OneLog is the exploration software GeoServices built for its own borings, test pits, and rock core. Classification happens at the hole. It is not retyped into a spreadsheet after the fact. Product of the practice — not a substitute for the field work under Services.
