Does a typical engineering firm do geotechnical work/create geotechnical reports?

[@HowToBuildYourOwnHome]

No, not typically. Geotech is a separate firm.

[@matthewgallagher1369]

Good

[@eljefe4473]

As mentioned it takes the perfect amount of water to not make a muddy bog and get actual compacted dirt. Those geotechnical compaction tests are expensive.

Have you ever used helical piers for difficult soils?

[@HowToBuildYourOwnHome]

I have had several jobs engineered for them but cost have shut the job down.

[@Arthur-Silva]

Do you have any advice for very steep slopes, like a 60%+ uphill lot?

Use a roller or tamper do not use a skid steer

[@HowToBuildYourOwnHome]

I fill the bucket up with wet dirt and roll the pad. I pass every time at a 95%

[@bapluda]

How do I find a Geotech company? Are they expensive?

[@HowToBuildYourOwnHome]

Research Geotech Engineer in your area. Depends on what you need, just geotech for the foundation or a perc test for septic.
