Geology and Geotechnical Services

As LACO grew, we realized the need for a specialized geology and geotechnical department. LACO responded to the growing public awareness of geologic hazards on California's north coast - one of the most earthquake-prone regions in the world, by providing the local community with seismic investigation and slope stability services. Today, we provide complete solutions to virtually any geology-related problem.
Geology Services:
  • Geologic/soils reports (R1/R2)
  • Coastal geologic reports
  • Timber harvest plans
  • Geomorphic mapping
  • Rock and gravel quarry assessment
Geo-Hazard Evaluation and Mitigation:
  • Landslides and fault hazards
  • Flood analyses
  • Tectonic/seismologic hazard analyses
  • Slope stability modeling/analyses/repairs
Geotechnical Services:
  • Foundation design
  • Cut and fill slopes
  • Trenching, drilling, geotechnical investigations
  • Liquefaction analyses
  • Geotechnical engineering


I have the greatest respect for LACO's commitment to responsiveness and quality. In particular, their performance in investigating and dealing with the seismic and geotechnical aspects of our Campus...They've proven to be true partners with CR.
