Subsurface investigations often require both geotechnical and contaminated sites expertise, yet these disciplines are frequently approached separately. By integrating field efforts and technical decision-making, R&M improves efficiency, reduces costs and delivers more coordinated solutions for Alaska’s infrastructure projects.
R&M’s roots run deep in Alaska’s ground. Our Earth Sciences Department unites experts in geology, geotechnical engineering, hydrology, contaminated sites, NEPA, permitting and geoscience to provide the foundation for safe, sustainable infrastructure across Alaska. Learn how their work connects land, water and community in every project we deliver.
