Laying the foundations for oil, gas, and natural resources projects
At Thurber, we help power progress. We work with energy clients including pipeline owners and operators, wind turbines and solar farms, and hydroelectic clients to address ground-related challenges.
Thurber provides the geotechnical, geological, environmental, instrumentation, and materials testing services that assist with site selection, pipeline routing, project design and construction, long-term maintenance, and site remediation. Our services include addressing terrain challenges, resolving challenging soil conditions, and verifying installation methods. Once an energy project is built, we provide long-term monitoring services to verify soil integrity and mitigate any identified hazards.
We work in all sorts of terrain including high mountains, steep valleys, and flowing rivers.

Thurber provided geotechnical monitoring services during construction for two spreads. This included engineering support, metal leaching/acid rock drainage assessment, geohazards review, vibration monitoring, trenchless tunneling investigation and design input, slope stabilization, retaining wall design, and erosion control.
