" The average engineer does not see things as they are. He sees things as they should be according to what he has read in textbooks and in the classroom. He is an artisan and not an artist. Science is produced by artists and used by artisans."
Karl Terzaghi, 1947
"Soil Mechanics has arrived at the borderline between science and art...to acquire competence in the field of earthwork engineering one must live with the soil. One must love it and observe its performance not only in the laboratory, but also in the field, to become familiar with those of its manifold properties that are not disclosed by boring records..."
Karl Terzaghi, 1957
UNIFOUR ENGINEERING TESTING LABORATORIES' work approach is founded on the principals set fourth by Mr. Terzaghi, father of modern geotechnical engineering, that one must look beyond the raw data and into the interconnected non-homogenous, non-isotropic reality. We draw on experience, observation and testing to develop realistic models from which we promulgate our design recommendations and forensic opinions. That is how we practice the art of engineering.
To provide reliable and accurate data, the firm maintains specialized exploration equipment and a complete in-house, full service geotechnical and construction materials laboratory. These resources support engineering, design and construction services.
The firm’s experienced technical staff utilize state of the art laboratory and field testing and monitoring equipment coupled with technologically advanced computer work stations in completing analysis and design services to provide the highest level of technical service available.
