An Established Firm with Diverse Capabilities:

Ransom engineers provide geotechnical engineering services to our clients in the development and construction communities. Our services begin at conceptual and preliminary site design, continue through the development of final plans, specifications, and estimates, and conclude with consultation and coordination during construction. Our staff includes registered professional engineers proficient in geotechnical subsurface investigations and laboratory testing programs, geotechnical field inspections and documentation, geotechnical analyses, and providing practical geotechnical recommendations consistent with client and project needs.

Because Ransom is a multi-disciplinary firm with capabilities including civil engineering and environmental consulting services, we offer unique insights into solving more complex site issues. Concurrently with our geotechnical investigations, Ransom can complete analyses of soils and ground water to assess environmental conditions which might impact construction costs and/or schedules. Using this approach towards investigation, total site costs can be reduced, and development and construction schedules kept on track. As a small, responsive, and client-focused organization, we will provide service which stands out from the competition.
