Mesquite is a special place. The City has grown from its pioneer roots to a community of approximately 18,000 people. It is known for its master planned communities and recreational facilities. And it has a vibrant commercial base. Most residents share a desire to maintain Mesquite’s scenic beauty and small-town feel, while still welcoming quality growth.
Mesquite’s master planned community, Anthem Mesquite, constructed by Pulte Group, has been developing since 2005. From the beginning GES has been part of the development group that has expanded and help create the beautiful community existing today. For each of the parcels of land in the Anthem Mesquite master planned community, GES provides geotechnical engineering and materials testing and inspection services.
Those services include general subsurface soil conditions and geology, site grading and earthwork, including hillside grading. Evaluates engineering properties of the soils, which influences the design of the future structures, including bearing capacity, settlement potential, lateral earth pressures, foundation design criteria, groundwater considerations, seismic design criteria including site class, pavement sections, slope stability evaluations, and underground utility backfill recommendations.
GES also provides a design level geotechnical investigation and after completion of each geotechnical phase during the mass grading operations, GES performs density testing for structural fill placement and compaction, evaluates the suitability of fill placed, and observes general construction to evaluate conformance to the project’s geotechnical investigation. GES coordinates observations and testing as requested by the contractor and reports all results to the Client. GES provides supervision of our engineering and field technicians and provides recommendations regarding the grading operations at the project to the contractor or Client, as requested.
In addition, GES performs materials testing services for off-site improvements including compaction testing of backfill within sewer, water, storm drain, and dry utility trenches, and Type II aggregate base; curbs, gutters, sidewalks, drop inlets, valley gutters, manholes, driveway approaches, light pole bases, and asphalt concrete for roadways.
