American Geotechnical & Environmental Services, Inc. Information

American Geotechnical & Environmental Services (A.G.E.S.), Inc. is a qualified Small Business and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) specialized in providing geotechnical design services. The company headquarters are located in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania with branch offices in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and McLean, Virginia. A.G.E.S., Inc. has grown to be one of the largest specialty geotechnical consultants in northeastern United States with a strong focus on providing geotechnical engineering services on public infrastructure projects. The majority of our geotechnical investigations and reports have been completed in accordance with DOT design manuals and we are familiar with FHWA and AASHTO design requirements. We have provided geotechnical design services for over $11 billion of construction, with over 250 multi-lane miles of interstate and highways and more than 2,500 bridges ranging from new multi-span dual structures to the rehabilitation of single-span bridges. Our projects have been performed in extremely varied geology resulting in a wide variety of geotechnical hazards, including deep and shallow mining, industrial / contaminated sites, thick glacial soils, steeply dipping bedrock, indurated clays with low shear strength, active solutioning, poorly defined rock / saprolite, acid rock drainage, and coastal plains deposits. We have a strong understanding for project schedule and cost, with innovative solutions for minimizing construction cost and time. The company employs a staff capable of efficient design and large workload, and provides effective recommendations for subsurface investigations that maximize cost savings and reduce uncertainty and risk. We understand the importance of communicating geotechnical concerns to the entire project team in order to allow for proper use in overall design, and pride ourselves in our ability to address complex geotechnical issues while working with both owners and specialty geotechnical contractors
