Transportation geotechnical engineering is at the core of our department, and we have been serving on projects that have shaped, improved, and redefined how communities connect.

Summit has provided geotechnical services for the NC Department of Transportation for over thirteen years and continues to foster our relationship and expand our services with the Department. Summit provides the engineering and support personnel to ensure that the Department’s expectations are met for geotechnical engineering field investigations, inventory preparation, recommendations, and foundation design services. Summit has a qualified staff of professional geotechnical engineers, professional geologists, CADD operators, and drilling personnel, as well as laboratory and field equipment. Through our experience and capabilities, we will provide timely and credible geotechnical engineering solutions for NCDOT and other state’s departments of transportation.

The beginning stages of a project are crucial for maintaining timelines and budget, and our team understands the importance of providing accurate evaluations and estimates the first time. 

Our diverse geotechnical skillset can adapt to a wide variety of project types. We work efficiently, address challenges proactively, and communicate constantly with all stakeholders to keep your project on track.  

Summit’s drilling staff has a vast amount of experience, drilling in all regions of the Carolinas and Virginia.  We are well versed at deep, mud-rotary drilling in the Coastal Plain, to auguring and rock coring in the Piedmont Region and the Mountains.  Our drillings staff has experience drilling on and off road, in varied topography and terrains.
