Design and construction of functional, cost-effective structures require a thorough understanding of local soil, rock, and groundwater conditions. Alpine Geotechnical provides Geotechnical Investigation, Engineering and Consulting Services to support all phases of a project, from preliminary design through completion of the building process.

The Engineering staff has Geotechnical experience on projects ranging from large commercial buildings, retaining structures and roadways.  The project will be staffed from our Kalispell, Montana office, with Geotechnical work to be overseen by Kagan M. Rutz, P.E., who has over 13 years’ experience of Geotechnical Investigation, Engineering and Consulting expertise in the Flathead Valley area with its complex glacial geology. This work has included building foundations, retaining wall, slope, roadway design, pile driving, and pile load/verification observations.
