Engineering Services
Geotechnical Engineering
JASON ENGINEERING provides a full range of soils investigation engineering reports, geologic assessments, perc tests, soils inspection, and Technical Information Reports, Abbreviated site plans for single family residences as well as commercial projects. We can also assist with landslide investigation and erosion hazard areas, soil treatment and stabilization methods and slope stability analysis. We offer our services to be completed in a timely manner in order to keep progress in motion for both private and public works projects. Our personnel have perform hundreds of soils investigation reports ranging from small residential projects to major commercial and public works projects in the Puget Sound region as well as throughout the rest of Washington. We can provide you with a quote on soils boring or test pits on your project to meet your specific project needs. We can also provide you with a variety of options for you foundation depending upon the site conditions.
Slope Analysis &
Stabilization
We can inspect you project site, gather data from the site, and prepare a detailed report with recommendations for your specific project site and application in reference to steep slopes. The reports that we provide on slope stability analysis examine both static and dynamic analysis of the slope using various worst-case scenarios. The analysis process examines slope stability using the method of slices procedure for determining slope stability. Normally several thousand slice sections are analyzed using some of the most advanced software available in the industry (utilizing Geoslope’s Software Suite).
Retaining Wall Design
These services include design details for retaining walls of concrete, masonry, rockeries, or segmental block walls that range from small landscape details to major earthwork improvements and renovation. We have provided retaining wall design services to a wide variety of landscaping situations for many different and sometimes difficult native settings.
Pavement Design &
Analysis
Roads, parking lots, and driveways may crack, fail or become otherwise unusable over time. Jason Engineering can evaluate the existing conditions and provide solutions for repair and/or replacement of the pavement as well as offer services to ensure a quality final product. Our personnel have monitored and inspected the construction and overlay of hundreds of miles of pavements throughout the entire Pacific Northwest. We have often been able to provide our clients with design recommendations and changes with the associated cost savings that have paid for our services many times over on a project.
Construction Management
Public
Works Construction Management
Our
personnel have participated in many state and federal public works
projects. JECB personnel coordinate with
all utility companies (water, power, sewer, phone, etc), property owners, and
contractors to facilitate and implement contractual agreements for the
project. We provide on-site support,
schedule review, technical and procedural advice; efficiently handle RFI’s,
RAM’s, submittals, change orders, force account and wage reviews per WSDOT, LAG
criteria. Experienced personnel oversee
survey and planning, tracking and inspecting underground utilities/structures as
they are placed, machinery, personnel, materials and resources used. Our personnel perform Construction/Project Management
as well as quality assurance testing and inspection. This allows maximum flexibility
for a successful project, provides better communication between responsible
parties, and significantly reduces cost associated with additional contracts,
markups, and lost time due to communication errors or scheduling issues.
Field inspectors are responsible for performing testing and inspection services in the field on the various projects. Each inspector will perform inspection services for which they have been fully licensed to perform (i.e. concrete, masonry, structural steel, fireproofing, etc.). Inspectors will be responsible for completing all paperwork for the inspections performed, ensuring that the specifications and applicable codes are followed or that the engineer of record has been informed and accepted any noted deviations. They are also responsible for obtaining any field samples as needed and making sure that the samples are properly submitted to the laboratory personnel for the appropriate testing.
Typical Responsibilities include:
* Serve as a construction period representative for the client, attend all on site project meetings, perform project owner/Engineer/Contractor coordination, utility and interagency coordination and facilitation, property owner coordination in public construction sites.
* Provide on-site support for timely completion of projects; prepare inspector logs and reports, including monitoring change orders, requests for information, construction change directives, scheduling, and construction quality.
* Inspect public and private construction and improvement work to verify appropriate construction permits; and ensure appropriate quality control and compliance with plans, codes, and regulations, utilization of WSDOT construction standards
* Furnish weekly reports of the contractors progress of work completed and of compliance with the progress schedule, Quantity tracking and measurement of bid items, prepare Pay Estimates, Review and negotiation of force account work
* Review of Plans and Specifications, engineering design conflict resolution, propose resolution of in-field constructability problems, materials testing and inspection, Quality control assurance
* Check for the proper use and placement of traffic signs at road construction and work sites, traffic control monitoring and inspection, water, sewer/storm inspection
* Report any observed safety issues including traffic, trench operations, etc. to appropriate parties,
* Maintain a construction file, keeping files in order, logs, and construction records, employees work assignments and inspection actives, including daily reports, field measurement sheets, and etc.
* Inspect construction sites for temporary erosion control measures. Monitor site runoff and advise contractors of corrective measures according to established plans and procedures, as needed.
Testing and Inspection, AASHTO / WABO ACCREDITED
These services include sampling the existing soils that you have to work with, performing various laboratory testing, as needed, and monitoring the field operations of placing and compacting any structural fills. These services include performing in-place density testing as needed for your project, large or small. We have experience in dealing with problem soils throughout the Pacific Northwest, and therefore we can be very helpful when it comes to offering alternative methods for various construction problems that can be encountered. We can perform a wide range of laboratory testing on any soils, aggregate, asphalt, or concrete samples that may need to be tested. We typically offer a turn around of only a couple of days for most samples and tests.
Concrete/Masonry Inspection and Testing
Our lab provides a full spectrum of concrete testing services for public and private projects. We inspect concrete placements and take samples for compressive strength testing. We have experience with concrete pavement machines, bridges, architectural and colored concrete, high early strength requirements, tilt up buildings, submerged placements, lightweight concrete, control density fill (CDF), rebound hammer inspection, reinforced concrete, post tension and pre-stressed concrete, masonry, coring and sampling inspection, concrete batch plant inspection and preparation and testing of concrete mix designs.
Soils/Asphalt Monitoring
These services included on-site monitoring for the placement of compacted fills and performing in-place density testing as needed for any project. We do not charge on a per test basis for density tests taken, only an hourly rate regardless of how many density tests are taken. This service provides more relevant information to supply our clients a better picture of their sites for necessary recommendations regarding structural fills. We can also inspect and monitor the field operations of mixing and placing the soils as they are treated. Soils treatments can include cement, lime, or kiln dust treatments. Depending upon your particular site needs, soils treatment can be a major cost savings alternative when compared with the costs of importing fill on the site.
Erosion Control Inspection
Our company has participated and passed the ECO3 Erosion and Sediment Control Lead class. We provide turbidity testing in accordance with the Department of Ecology standards. We are capable of assisting the contractor or owner to identify potential erosion hazards during and prior to construction to minimize costs for erosion control management during the project
