Gaines Soil Consulting (GSC) can assist in determining the suitability for pond site placement.
Seasonal
High Groundwater Determinations
GSC can determine the level of seasonal ground saturation for livestock lagoon placement or building site assesments.
Reports
Our individual soil evaluation reports will include soils and site information, loading rates of soil layers, site sketch, and recommendations if requested. Individual home-site reports are generally completed and in the mail within the following two business days. Copies may be faxed or emailed.
Larger projects require up to two weeks after the field work is completed.
