01
Geotechnical Engineering & Design
MSE delivers comprehensive geotechnical engineering and geotechnical design services for infrastructure and site development projects. We evaluate soil behavior, groundwater conditions, and soil-structure interaction to provide practical, cost-effective solutions. Our expertise covers foundation design, pavement design, feasibility assessments, global stability evaluations, and design recommendations that improve safety, constructability, and long-term performance.
02
Slope Stability & Landslide Mitigation
We perform detailed slope stability analysis and design mitigation strategies for embankments, roadway corridors, development sites, and natural slopes. Our engineers diagnose potential slope failures, evaluate remediation options, and design stabilization systems using reinforced soil techniques, drainage improvements, earth retention structures, and grading modifications.
03
Retaining Wall & Earth Retention System Design
MSE provides complete retaining wall engineering for segmental retaining walls, boulder walls, modular block walls, and commercial/residential earth retention systems. Our services include global, internal, and external stability analysis, groundwater/surcharge evaluation, and construction-phase support. We design solutions that meet structural demands while optimizing cost, constructability, and long-term reliability.
04
MSE Walls & Reinforced Soil Structures
We specialize in Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall design, MSE wall analysis, and reinforced soil slopes (RSS) for transportation, commercial, and private development. Our geostructural approach integrates soil mechanics and structural engineering to deliver high-performing, efficient, and durable reinforced soil systems.
05
Foundation Engineering (Shallow & Deep Foundations)
MSE provides engineering for shallow and deep foundations, including bearing capacity analysis, settlement evaluations, slab-on-grade recommendations, and deep foundation design using piles, piers, or drilled shafts. We develop foundation solutions suited to site-specific subsurface conditions while balancing structural performance and construction cost.
06
Subsurface Exploration & In-Situ Testing
Our team conducts complete subsurface investigations, including geotechnical drilling, test pits, sampling, laboratory soil testing, and in-situ testing. We define the soil and rock conditions essential for designing foundations, retaining walls, pavement sections, and earth retention systems. Instrumentation and monitoring can be provided where long-term data is required.
ADDITIONAL GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES
Value Engineering
We identify opportunities to reduce cost, simplify construction, and enhance performance through targeted value engineering reviews for retaining walls, MSE systems, and geotechnical design elements.
Preliminary Quantity Take-Off (QTO)
Early-phase quantity take-offs help owners and contractors understand material needs, wall dimensions, reinforcement quantities, and site constraints before committing to final designs.
Shop Drawings / Sealed Drawings
We prepare detailed shop drawings and sealed engineering drawings reflecting all geotechnical and structural analyses required for permitting, manufacturing, and construction.

Site Visits & Construction Support
MSE provides field support to confirm conditions, evaluate wall layout and foundation preparation, and address construction challenges as they arise—ensuring design intent is met.
Forensic Engineering
Our forensic engineers investigate retaining wall failures, foundation movement, drainage issues, pavement distress, and soil-structure interaction problems. We determine root cause and provide repair recommendations.
Expert Witness Services
We offer clear, defensible engineering opinions for disputes involving retaining walls, foundations, MSE structures, slope failures, and geotechnical performance issues.
