Geotechnical Engineering Services for Landfills

ETTL has provided geotechnical engineering services for proposed and existing landfill sites in Texas and adjacent states for over twenty years, including a wealth of experience in investigating landfill sites in the unique geological belt of Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments in the ARK-LA-TEX area. ETTL's drilling rigs are capable of investigating the most demanding terrains and geologic strata. The Company's geotechnical laboratories are equipped to classify soils according to the latest testing standards; obtain strength characteristics, falling-head permeability values, and gradations; and carry out other laboratory soil tests germane to landfill investigations.

In sum, ETTL's geotechnical services for landfill applications include:

Test borings, as in the above photo
Soil and rock sampling
