GeoTest has worked on numerous public and private projects in the Puget Sound region since 1993. Our versatile array of services spans 5 major categories: Geotechnical, Environmental, Construction Special Inspection, Materials Testing & Laboratory, and Building Science. We are proud to continue to serve Northwestern Washington as we continue to grow and foster meaningful partnerships with our local communities. We look forward to working with you in 2020—From the Ground Up!


2. Marysville Civic Center Project

GeoTest is excited to be a part of the upcoming Marysville Civic Center project! This new $47.6 million facility will feature modern, energy-efficient building design and will include a new City Hall, Police Department, and Courthouse. GeoTest will be providing Structural Testing, Inspection, and Building Envelope services for this project. 


3. Building Science

Maintaining the structural integrity of building enclosures’ air, moisture, and thermal barriers is critical in the Pacific Northwestern climate. GeoTest offers Building Science services to improve overall building performance, increase envelope durability, and meet energy code requirements. Our Building Science program also provides services to support regulatory compliance for new and existing building enclosures; such services include Building Envelope Inspection & Testing, Envelope Control Layer Detailing, Testing for Water Penetration & Air Infiltration, Commissioning Support, Rehabilitation Consulting, and Forensic Investigations.



4. Construction Special Inspection

Adherence to established standards is paramount during construction. The International Building Code (IBC) established the Construction Special Inspection & Materials Testing discipline to mitigate risk by upholding certain construction standards by inspecting materials, installation, fabrication, and implementation during the construction process. GeoTest provides clients with construction special inspection and materials testing services to verify if critical project components are in accordance with plans, specifications, and code requirements. Our team is comprised of registered WABO, ICC, ACI, AWS, and WSDOT WAQTC certified inspectors which provide a wealth of expertise for any type or size of project.



5. Geotechnical

An integral, yet often unrecognized, component of modern civil and structural engineering is perhaps the most fundamental when it comes to manifesting a preliminary concept design into an applied construction. Geotechnical Engineering focuses on the foundational interface between the Earth’s crust and the manmade structures residing in and upon it. The focal point of the Geotechnical profession literally begins From the Ground Up; the transformation of a vacant lot into a multi-million dollar stadium commences with geotechnical experts analyzing the suitability of a site’s surface and subsurface characteristics. Such details encompass everything from bearing capacity, soil composition at varying depths, slope stability, erosion, pavement design, stormwater, drainage, retaining wall design, to crustal movement (recent & historical) and mitigative efforts for natural hazards such as earthquakes/floods. GeoTest provides geotechnical engineering and geologic services to industrial, municipal, and residential clients. Our clients benefit from our extensive experience with the unique soil, bedrock, and groundwater conditions underlying the Puget Sound region. Our services incorporate multiple disciplines, always considering cost and constructability into our design and recommendations!
