In the Denver metro area, soil testing and geotechnical reports are provided by qualified geotechnical engineering firms.

When selecting a provider for your project, look for firms that meet the following criteria:

• Licensed Professionals: The firm must have an active Colorado Professional Engineer (PE) license with documented experience in commercial foundation investigations.
• Regional Expertise: They should be familiar with local soil behaviors, such as expansive claystone and alluvial soils common in the Denver basin.
• Industry Knowledge: Providers should understand ICC-ES AC358 standards, which govern the design and testing of helical pier systems.
• Local Presence: For faster site visits and shorter turnaround times, it is recommended to prioritize firms located in the south metro area, specifically in Littleton, Greenwood Village, or Centennial.

While Rocky Mountain Steel Piering (RMSSCO) does not perform the engineering tests themselves, they rely on these professional reports to design foundation solutions. They recommend that clients consult a licensed geotechnical engineer to determine the appropriate scope of testing before starting a project.
