Northwest Geotech
Northwest Geotech Inc., (NGI) has conducted business since 1983 with the successful completion of over 8,000 projects. For over 25 years NGI has operated under the same ownership and management group since its founding. This has contributed to maintaining a reputation as a stable, professional firm of integrity. In addition, as a locally owned Oregon-based business, NGI's focus is on serving the needs of the Pacific Northwest and building long term business relationships based on a high standard of work. NGI was founded to provide geotechnical and environmental assistance to private and public projects. As the company has grown, services have been expanded to include special inspection and in-house laboratory construction materials testing. The principals of the firm have extensive experience with projects requiring soils and foundation engineering, engineering geology, and environmental site assessments. NGI also offers full service construction monitoring and testing facilities which are approved by the International Accreditation Service, Oregon Building Officials Association, Washington Association of Building Officials, the City of Portland Bureau of Development Services, US Army Corps of Engineers and The Oregon Department of Transportation. Recognizing the growing importance of the geotechnical, materials, and environmental professions, we are committed to providing practical yet innovative work of high quality. Northwest Testing Inc., (NTI) is a division of Northwest Geotech. NTI was created to provide construction monitoring and materials testing assistance to private and public projects including municipalities, owners, contractors, developers, architects and engineers throughout the Pacific Northwest. The range of projects typically serviced by NTI includes streets and highways, light rail facilities, churches, schools, fire stations, justice facilities, high-rise structures, stadiums, industrial complexes, residential and commercial developments, and wireless tower sites. NTI?s approach to a project is to listen to their client?s needs and then design the services to satisfy those requirements. This approach maintains cost-effective management while ensuring necessary client contact through completion of the project. The people of NGI and NTI believe that they can add valuable insight, experience, professionalism, and project management support to meet the needs of your project. Please contact our office with your project requirements. NGI's geotechnical services are typically managed by direct principal level involvement and coordinated by key professional staff. For twenty-five years NGI has worked with many professional architects and engineers throughout the Portland area and has a solid reputation for commitment to quality, innovative design, and excellent communicative skills. NGI?s clientele includes public agencies, design professionals, construction management companies, and private developers. Many of the projects involve geotechnical/seismic evaluation in support of feasibility and/or design of various public and private improvements. Laboratory and field testing of soil and rock associated with design and construction elements are also provided directly by our office. These capabilities allow our clients to benefit from the continuity we offer from the beginning stage of a project through construction. For geotechnical projects we have found this approach to be very useful. Geotechnical review of final design plans and specifications is another important element of NGI?s capabilities which helps to reduce the risk of misinterpreted recommendations or missing (geotechnical) information.
