California experiences hundreds of wildfires each year changing the properties of the soil. We take a deeper look at how wildfires affect soil and how soil testing is appropriate immediately after wildfires. #California #Wildfires #Soil #Geotechnical #Engineeering

Starting a new building project or continuing operations on a dangerous site can put you and your associates at risk. Engineering reports are needed for foundation investigations. Learn how to prepare an engineering report for foundational investigations, how much they cost and how long the report is good for.

What does an environmental engineer do? We answer this simple question in our latest blog post. http://bit.ly/2lwKKPL #AES #Geologist #Enviornment #Engineer

Soil Engineering Reports are investigations undertaken by geotechnical engineers to discover the properties of soil and earthworks at a proposed or existing building site. Learn all about these reports and why you need them. #AES #SoilReports #Geologist #Geotechnical #Engineering

Sinkholes are a perfect example of nature's power, and an illustration of why a soil and foundation analysis is so critical before starting new construction on any site. http://www.aessoil.com/what-are-sinkholes-and-why-do-they-/

A smart approach to soil can help our nation's agriculture industry grow, while simultaneously taking actionable steps toward reversing climate change. http://www.aessoil.com/what-is-farming-carbon-capture/

If you live in California, you're probably well aware of the water shortage issues the state has faced in recent years. The situation has improved thanks to a much-needed infusion of precipitation, but is California still in a drought? http://www.aessoil.com/is-california-still-in-a-drought-ap/

So-called "cover crops" are yet another example of how California farmers are smartly maximizing soil health while also making good choices for the environment.

It doesn't rain powerfully in LA very often; but when it does, there can be devastating consequences for homes built on unstable foundations. A soil report can bring important insight into how to protect your structures when events like El Nino hit the Southland.

You've heard the phrase "all politics is local." But did you know that same sentiment is extremely true for geotechnical engineering? Make sure your consultant knows the ins and outs of a specific area before deciding to contract with them!

A modified soils report can add efficiency to a home addition project -- and help you come in under budget. Learn all about this special kind of analysis here: http://www.aessoil.com/what-are-modified-soils-reports

Considering a property addition or improvement? You're probably going to need a soils/geology report done from your building agency. Here's why AES can help you plan for future additions by doing a more comprehensive report right now.

California's ecosystem is changing, and this season's devastating wildfires are evidence that we need to protect our environment before it's too late.
