Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical Engineering, including initial drilling and testing, ensures the conditions of the soil, rock and water are properly identified and classified. Identifying contaminated or unstable ground is imparitive to the integrity of the building above ground.

Save on your construction costs by getting the proper geotechnical drilling and testing done up front. Avvy can provide such services as Site Assessments, Civil Site Assessments, Ground Water Monitoring, Soil and Rock Sampling/Testing, Geologic Mapping, Earth Retaining Structure Design and much more.

Make sure that your building site can not only support the buildings you are constructing but will be stable in adverse conditions and stand the test of time both structurally and environmentally. It is important to start from the ground up.

Environmental Engineering, Consulting and Testing

Avvy can provide a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Study to provide you with an impartial overview of the environmental compliance record of your project site. Phase I ESA typically includes interviews with past and present property owners, review of aerial photos, regulatory agency records, and a review of any previous investigations conducted at the site.

If contamination is suspected, Avvy can provide an Environmental Phase II ESA This would entail field sampling and laboratory analyses to evaluate the type and extent of possible contamination.

Further, Avvy can provide Phase III remediation study if necessary, which consists of an in-depth engineering study to remediate any contamination.

Construction Materials Testing and Inspection

Due to the rapid expansion of construction materials and construction methods, Avvy Group knows how important the quality and performance of the construction materials used on your project can significantly impact both the results and your bottom line.

Construction Materials Testing and Inspection Services by Avvy Group can give you the confidence to keep your construction project progressing, knowing that the final result will be constructed from materials that meet or exceed the requirements necessary. We communicate with you at every step to reduce or eliminate any downtime for your project.

Structural Engineering, Design and Inspection

Having a solid foundation is the key to any building or infrastructure project. Avvy Group understands the complexities in the design process and what is required for a successful project.

In order for a structural design to be completed on time and within budget, it is crucial to have efficient communication and coordination between structural engineers and other design disciplines. Avvy Group maintains a high level of communication throughout the project to avoid or minimize misunderstandings and work slowdowns. We work with the project team to spell out the design criteria, structure layout, loading conditions, client requirements, project schedule, budget, etc.

Structural Assessments are occasionally needed on existing structures to verify the ongoing stability and safety, Avvy Group can help. We can perform Threshold Inspections as required by the engineer of record and/or applicable codes.

Civil Engineering, Design and Inspection

Civil Engineering becomes more and more complex every year. That is why Avvy Group keeps up on evolving changes to the market in order to assist you in various stages of your project, including planning, zoning, and preliminary design all the way through to the final design stage. We provide construction support and regular communication to keep your project moving.

Building Envelope Consulting and Testing

Protect the inside of your buildings by securing critical Building Envelope components including the roof, walls, glass and glazing elements. Whether you use glass, metal, brick, stone, architectural precast concrete, terra cotta, EIFS, or other materials, our goal is to ensure the ultimate success of the building enclosure.

The performance of the building envelope is critical for the structural integrity, durability and effective operation of any structure. Performance failure due to uncontrolled moisture intrusion, heat or air flow can compromise a building - bringing added legal, maintenance and remedial costs and devaluating a capital investment.

Avvy Group employs many of the industry's most experienced and knowledgeable specialists to assist you with your building envelope design, construction and testing needs. From pre-construction consulting, mock-up and jobsite testing, fabrication and jobsite quality control inspection, to post-construction investigations, assessments and surveys, Avvy Group's proven professionals are known for their ability to recognize and troubleshoot problematic glass and glazing, roofing and waterproofing issues before they substantially impact budgets and schedules.

In addition to analyzing the integrity of curtain wall, air and vapor barriers and claddings, Avvy Group performs a variety of non-destructive tests to document compliance with specification and code requirements, as well as to assess the overall integrity of a building envelope. This ensures the proper construction and quality of your building for years to come.

Construction Draw Inspections, Budget & Schedule Review

Avvy Group serves construction lenders by providing review of the developer's initial budget and schedule; as well as, recurrent visits to the job sites to review the construction draws against work in place, protecting lenders from not funding more money that is required to properly build each Project. Each inspection is supported by photographs and written observations regarding the budget, the schedule and other aspects of construction, such as job safety, security and quality control, among others.
