Westex Consulting Engineers

Our geotechnical engineering staff provided the soils, foundations, and retaining wall designs to support the new fuel tank farm at Tahoe Reno Industrial Center. We also provided the necessary third party and special inspections. It is very fulfilling to see challenging projects completed through construction and into operations.

Several of the material sources in Northern Nevada have challenges that are mitigated to produce long-lasting durable concrete in our environment and climate. Our laboratory performs a trial batch for concrete mix designs and aggregate material qualifications. Our engineers develop a mix design to meet certain requirements. The design is then "downsized" to a manageable size to be batched in the laboratory. After all mix components are added and mixed, the concrete is tested for fresh and hardened properties. If the original trial batch does not meet project specifications, the mix design is adjusted, and the mix process is repeated until a mix that meets project requirements is produced.

Reinforced Concrete Pipes (RCP) are often installed as a long-term drainage system that can handle large amounts of storm flow. Our inspectors ensure proper handling and installation to ensure the job is done right the first time!

Have you seen all the new homes and apartment buildings popping up in the Reno Tahoe area? Do you know what is involved in the foundations? This is a post-tension foundation slab.

Westex Consulting Engineers has the certified inspectors to inspect and make sure the cables are tensioned within spec of the plans.

Do you know if your parking lots and service roads are compacted correctly? Do you need an inspector you can trust? Westex Consulting Engineers can help you with that. Our certified lab will test the soils to make sure the material being used can withhold driving and parking conditions. Our certified inspectors will help with compaction tests using the correct density and moisture results from our laboratory to get the results needed for the next step of the project. Before nay asphalt or concrete is placed, we walk the site with the contractor to perform a proof roll to make absolutely sure there are not any areas that move with the truck's weight, or as we call it in the industry, pumping. Pumping will case pre-mature failure to the concrete or asphalt, but our inspectors will make sure the material is firm and non-yielding to protect your investments.
