GeoCon Engineering, under the leadership of geotechnical engineer Tommy Rachel, offers expert geotechnical engineering and construction material testing services to builders throughout Alabama and Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast. The firm’s in depth knowledge of the region’s unique geological conditions supports efficient and informed decision making in construction.
Coastal construction presents distinct challenges, and GeoCon Engineering brings the necessary expertise to meet them head on. Its services, which include cone penetration testing, concrete testing, soil compaction testing, and site grade monitoring, provide builders with the data and insights needed to make environmentally sound and structurally secure decisions.
A key service, soil compaction testing, evaluates how well the soil beneath a proposed building can bear weight. This test informs critical decisions related to site selection, foundation type, maintenance schedules, potential repairs, and the overall longevity of a structure, whether it’s a house, road, or commercial building. Known by several names—such as soil report, bore samples, core samples, boreholes, or dirt test—this analysis delivers valuable data on the ratios of solid particles to air and water in the soil.
GeoCon Engineering’s geotechnical tests provide insight into appropriate foundation methods for coastal buildings, including the need for pilings placed at suitable depths and on stable material. Road construction projects also benefit from these assessments, helping ensure long-lasting infrastructure.
Geotechnical reports and subsurface investigations give engineers detailed insights into subsurface conditions. GeoCon employs advanced tools, such as Cone Penetration Testing (CPT), to determine subsurface soil characteristics. Widely used by the US Geological Services, CPT evaluates factors such as soil strength, compressibility, stability, friction angles, and groundwater elevations. GeoCon uses the state of the art S4 CPT Sounding System, mounted on a wide track Caterpillar skid steer, to conduct these tests.

GeoCon’s expertise extends beyond geotechnical services, providing environmental consultations to help projects meet local, state, and federal environmental permitting requirements. The Gulf Coast’s proximity to vital waterways, such as the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico, necessitates strict adherence to environmental regulations. GeoCon’s environmental engineers bring extensive knowledge of these requirements to the table.
The firm offers a range of environmental services, including Phase I Environmental Site Assessments and NPDES Storm Water (BMP) Inspection Services. Environmental consultation is available throughout construction projects to maintain regulatory compliance while keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
