StructuresWith over 55 years in its service region, Western Technologies is uniquely qualified to assist with structures that place special demands on geotechnical conditions. These types of structures include dams, embankments, towers, flood control elements, landfills and retaining walls.

Use of natural geological materials for earth structures can involve greater uncertainties than use of fabricated materials and require more comprehensive knowledge of strength and stiffness of soil, load modeling and hydraulics of groundwater and surface water flow. Western Technologies has major project experience with earth structures and can provide detailed recommendations regarding use of geosynthetics and stabilization methods.
