As the population of the western United States grows, the maintenance and development of transportation infrastructure, and the supply and distribution of water and power becomes increasingly complex. SAGE offers a full range of engineering services to assist municipal, state, and federal agencies with new construction and retrofitting existing facilities. We specialize in providing practical, cost-efficient structural engineering designs for retaining walls, foundations, shoring, bridges, hydraulic structures, and landslide stabilization structures. We also provide geotechnical engineering services to characterize site-specific soil and rock conditions, and to develop the geotechnical parameters necessary for structural design.

In addition to engineering design, we provide technical peer review of geotechnical and geological reports, construction plans and specifications, and structural calculations submitted to municipal agencies for development applications. Urban growth pressures combined with rising property values have made difficult sites with geotechnical constraints (e.g., collapsible or expansive soils, landslides, earthquake faults, etc.) attractive for development. The peer review process helps ensure the characterization and mitigation of site geotechnical hazards is adequate, and construction plans and documents are thorough.
