Subsurface Utility Engineering

Kiwa provides comprehensive geotechnical engineering and infrastructure consulting services that support planning, design, construction, and operations. Our teams:
We help project owners and design teams understand geologic conditions, develop structural and foundation solutions, anticipate construction challenges, and ensure compliance with engineering standards and regulatory requirements.
Subsurface uncertainty is one of the leading causes of change orders, delays, and performance issues in infrastructure projects. Without accurate geotechnical and utility information, organizations face risks such as:
High quality geotechnical and infrastructure consulting mitigates these risks by delivering reliable data early, enabling efficient design, improving constructability, and enhancing long-term asset performance.
Kiwa’s geotechnical engineers, utility specialists, and multidisciplinary consultants deliver solutions that are technically sound, constructible, and aligned with real world project constraints. We combine:
Our independent assessments help owners reduce uncertainty, make informed decisions, and ensure consistent infrastructure performance throughout the asset lifecycle.












We conduct drilling and sampling programs, cone penetration testing (CPT), geophysical surveys, and full laboratory soil and materials testing.
