CSA specializes in slope stability characterization and analysis, as well as the preparation of detailed drawings and specifications for the construction of necessary slope stabilization measures. We have developed a specialty in this field through years of project experience that includes analyses and design for many roadway repairs, dams, levees, and streambanks as well as complete engineering analysis of many significant and devastating landslides in the United States. Our firm has extensive experience in all phases of slope instability problems, from surveying and mapping of relevant geologic and topographic conditions, to slope stability analysis and civil design and implementation of engineered solutions.

Our staff has a recognized ability to convey technical information to both technical and non-technical users in written, verbal and illustrative forms, and we routinely provide geologic and geotechnical services for multidisciplinary teams including government officials, regional planners, attorneys, architects, engineers, and other design professionals. CSA's versatility and commitment to excellence ensures the highest quality in all aspects of our services.

“Geology is the science which investigates the successive changes that have taken place in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature; it enquires into the causes of these changes, and the influence which they have exerted in modifying the surface and external structure of our planet.”
- Sir Charles Lyell: Principles of Geology (1830)
