Services
In order to obtain a building permit in the Bay Area, due to soil conditions, geological fault line, or slope stability, most construction projects require input from a licensed Geotechnical Engineer (GE), a Certified Engineering Geologist (CEG), or a Professional Civil Engineer (PE).
For example, a soils report, generated from a comprehensive soils engineering laboratory analysis that tests soil collected from the project site, drives the most appropriate and cost-effective geotechnical design for house foundations.

The project developer retained Murray Engineers, Inc. to provide geotechnical services related to construction of a new Chipotle across the street from Santana Row.
We completed a design-level geotechnical investigation, including a detailed liquefaction hazard analysis, and subsequently provided plan review services to facilitate building department approval.
During construction, we provided as-needed earthwork observation and tests.
The Palo Alto Hills Golf & Country Club has added a new fitness center with a full basement-level parking garage to their facility, along with re-configured swimming pool, tennis courts, and driving range stalls, and renovations and additions to the existing clubhouse.

Ground movement is often a significant matter in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Landslides, expansive soil and bedrock, differential movement of earth fills, fault rupture and soil liquefaction are all common local concerns potentially affecting your property.
Improper evaluation of these geohazards can lead to future great expense and heartache in relation to the long-term performance of your major asset.
Murray Engineers endeavors to tailor our site investigation and subsequent geo-recommendations and construction observations to safeguard the very foundation of your project so you have one less thing to worry about.

Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials.
We use principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to investigate subsurface conditions and materials; determine the relevant physical/mechanical and chemical properties of these materials; evaluate stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits; assess risks posed by site conditions; design earthworks and structure foundations; and monitor site conditions, earthwork and foundation construction.

Engineering geology is the application and understanding of geologic science and phenomena to impacts on new and existing construction.
The majority of site development and construction is influenced by the local geology and often by geologic hazards or constraints.
Our engineering geologists work closely with our geotechnical group to evaluate and define the site-specific geologic characteristics.
The identification and assessment of geologic hazards is crucial to successful site development and reduces the risk of property damage caused by ground instability and other geologic hazards.
