Partner provides geotechnical consulting services in Pasadena, where seismic risks, variable soil conditions, and hillside developments necessitate thorough subsurface evaluations. Our investigations help guide foundation design, slope stability analysis, and mitigation of potential liquefaction hazards. Whether for new construction or renovations, understanding Pasadena’s geotechnical conditions is essential for long-term structural success. Our team offers tailored solutions that support safe, resilient development in this geotechnically diverse region.
Some recent projects and experience that provide insight into our robust Southern California consulting practice include:
Partner performed a Property Condition Assessment on a 25-story luxury residential tower in downtown Los Angeles just blocks away from LA Live. Partner was retained by an institutional client who purchased the recently-completed tower and an adjacent land asset for future development. The Partner team consisted of roof, façade and elevator specialists. Partner’s sister company, Partner Energy, performed the assessment of the mechanical systems and an energy audit. Partner also assisted with closing-out open building and fire department permit items in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
