Featured Projects

Harris County Toll Road Authority SH 249

The Harris County Toll Road Authority brought GRL Engineers on to perform quality control testing on excavated test shafts. Drilled shaft verticality was assessed using the Shaft Area Profile Evaluator (SHAPE) device and Crosshole Sonic Logging was performed to evaluate concrete quality around the shaft cage. Read More

Seattle Center Arena

GRL Engineers performed Thermal Integrity Profiling on the Seattle Center Area, the world's first net zero certified arena. GRL tested and analyzed the collected thermal data for 21 drilled shafts. The tested shafts were either 36 or 78 inches in diameter with shaft lengths from 80 to 93 feet. Read More

Tri-State Tollway Mile-Long Bridge

In 2020, GRL Engineers were contracted to perform testing on the  Mile-Long Bridge located in Willow Springs, Illinois. Various testing methods were performed to assess the concrete integrity including Crosshole Sonic Logging, Thermal Integrity Profiling, and Data Analyses. Read More
