Alaska ’s complex geologic conditions make it imperative that geologic factors be considered in any engineering endeavor. This is especially true in permafrost areas where the success of engineering works is heavily dependent upon accurately assessing geologic conditions. Similarly, environmental factors in other areas, such as Southeast Alaska with its heavy rainfall, make geologic studies a critical part of any Alaskan engineering effort.

R&M’s knowledge of statewide geologic conditions forms the base of all our investigations and evaluations. Our engineering geologists identify geologic conditions and apply professional training and practical experience to develop solutions that can result in significant savings during construction and throughout the useful life of the project.

R&M provides the following engineering geology services:
