Arora and Associates, P.C. provides a wide range of geotechnical services
with the highest degree of confidence. We render excellent service and
are committed to providing quality work for all projects. Our geotechnical
engineering group has professional credentials, is academically trained, and
is experienced in providing complete geotechnical engineering services.
Supervising the group is a Professional Engineer with advanced degrees,
backed by specialized training, in geotechnical and geo-environmental
engineering. Members of the team have various qualifications including
professional licenses and special certifications in hazardous waste
management (40 hours OSHA), asphalt testing, and nuclear density gauge testing.
All possess extensive field, laboratory and design experience.

Arora's Soils and Foundations services are extensive. We implement subsurface
exploration programs that include the preparation of contracts and specifications,
solicitation of bids, and execution of contracts. We conduct field inspections and
visual identification of soil and rock according to various classification systems.
Our field evaluations include in-house analysis and lab testing of geotechnical
materials. Arora provides geotechnical engineering reports with recommendations
for design soil parameters, the most appropriate foundation schemes, and
constructability considerations. We assess and recommend instrumentation for
evaluating field performance including impact on buildings, bridges, roadways,
dams, coastal construction and flood control measures. Our inspectors evaluate
slope stability, bearing capacity, embankment consolidation, settlement,
axial and lateral pile capacity, and drilled shaft capacity. In
addition, our engineers design, supervise and evaluate static, dynamic, O-cell and
cross hole logging tests for deep foundation schemes.

Our Pavement Design expertise includes field and laboratory testing of subgrade
soil properties, visual surface distress identification utilizing SHRP Distress
Identification Method, analysis of destructive and non-destructive tests of
pavement and subgrade conditions and the recommendation of proper remedial
measures. Arora analyzes and recommends pavement thickness and
materials for roadways and parking lots, and designs, supervises and evaluates
falling weight deflectometer testing. We also provide back calculation of
modulus and structural number of rigid and flexible pavements, use non-destructive
testing methods to examine bridge deck condition and lamination delineation, and
make pavement and bridge deck rehabilitation recommendations.

Arora's Quality Control and Quality Assurance program offers expert geotechnical
evaluations, opinions and recommendations during construction. Our geotechnical
quality control and quality assurance for shallow and deep foundation schemes
includes static and dynamic load test evaluations for pile driving and drilled
shafts. We provide complete geotechnical field quality control and quality
assurance service for any engineering project.

Special geotechnical recommendations are sometimes required for complex projects.
Arora evaluates and recommends soil improvement techniques, such as soil
reinforcement, anchoring and nailing, densification, surcharging and strip drains,
adhesion and physiochemical alteration. Our evaluations and recommendations of
suitable improvement techniques are always completed after considering site
specific conditions.

Additionally, Arora conducts geotechnical evaluations of failed foundations and
provides remedial recommendations for buildings, bridges and dams. We also
operate a laboratory testing service to determine physical and index properties
of soils. Our experts provide forensic geotechnical evaluations for disputed
claims and value engineering evaluations.
