Shana’s knowledge has been totally indispensable... we saved money on the construction side. [What sets D.W. Kozera apart is their] knowledge and expertise. Kozera stayed involved with the whole process. Just the level of knowledge and expertise I've never experienced before in any other geotechnical.

They are our number one source for any complex geotechnical project... the folks that we work with at Kozera are great. They're all obviously very knowledgeable in what they do, but also, from a culture perspective, all good people…excited about what they do which makes it more fun to do it, and makes you better at it. And I think it's clear that that's part of the culture there, and comes through all the folks that we work with.

WHAT WE DO.

D. W. Kozera, Inc. takes the “guess” work out of the underground below your project site by:

  • Providing an accurate geologic interpretation of the underground site conditions.
  • Applying the principles of soil mechanics and practical construction techniques, and providing technically appropriate and cost-effective foundation solutions.
  • Working closely with the entire project team, resulting in an earthwork and foundation package which is buildable and efficient.
  • Assisting contractors during below grade construction with the development of the most efficient solutions when unexpected subsurface conditions are encountered.

D. W. Kozera, Inc. believes that construction inspection services are a continuation of design services.  Therefore, we only provide inspection services on projects where we are the design geotechnical engineer on record.
