| | Exponent- Geotechnical, Geological and Geomechanical Engineering |
 | | Geotechnical, geological, and geomechanical engineers and scientists work with large volumes of soil, rock, and fluids with properties that are poorly understood compared to the structures that they support. |
 | | Failures of naturally complex soil and rock masses, and the structures built upon or within them, often occur because the initial geotechnical, geological, and geohydrological characterizations were inadequate. |
 | | Exponent's Geotechnical, Geological, and Geomechanical Engineering (Geo3) staff provides unusually broad expertise in geotechnical engineering, geological engineering, engineering geology, geophysics, geomechanics, and groundwater hydrology to address a host of geo-failures, including landslides, foundation and retaining wall failures, oil-well distress, and floods, as well as earthwork construction claims. |
