About this project
Geotechnical and foundation engineering in New York since 1910.
MRCE was the first firm in the United States to combine a geotechnical specialty with structural foundation design. Our subsurface records — many more than a century old — inform every site we work on.
- 1910Founded in New York City
- 13,500+Projects completed worldwide

What we do
All services- GeotechnicalSubsurface investigation, laboratory testing, analysis, and design criteria that define how a site will behave.
- FoundationsCost-effective shallow and deep foundation systems for all types of structures, informed by soil-structure interaction.
- ExcavationsSelection, design, contract documents, and construction inspection of excavation support on tight urban sites.
- Waterfront StructuresInspection, design, rehabilitation, and permitting of bulkheads, piers, and marine structures.
- Flood Control & DamsGeotechnical engineering and design for new and existing dams, levees, and revetments.
- Tunnels & ShaftsMined, bored, jacked, and cut-and-cover tunnels, shafts, and the foundations that sit above them.
- InstrumentationAutomated monitoring of vibration, movement, and groundwater that protects adjacent structures in real time.
- Ground ImprovementTechniques that strengthen and stabilize soils so a site can carry what is planned for it.
- Construction ServicesField inspection and construction support that carry the design intent through to the ground.

Our Boring Books archive and historic geologic maps reach back generations, so we often know what lies beneath a site before the first boring.
