Yep, We Can Do That!

 

Red Rock Consulting was recently hired to determine the bearing capacity of existing footings within the basement of an existing building. This was accomplished with a core machine, a hand-held water pump, a shop vac and a dynamic cone penetrometer. Oh, and 3 guys with muscles. It was messy, but we got the job done and made a friend in the process!

Sometimes You Need A Little Help….

Red Rock Consulting and Drilling Services of Oklahoma (DSO) recently completed the geotechnical investigation for the widening of the Interstate 35 bridge over the Canadian River in Norman, Oklahoma.  Due to the company’s summer workload, additional help was needed to keep all of Red Rock’s projects on schedule.  The help came by way of our friend, Robel Gibbe, EI, who stepped in and performed field work to ease the workload.

The field investigation for this project took approximately 3 weeks in the middle of the hottest Oklahoma summer on record.  Let’s all hope Robel will rejoin us soon!

Red Rock Consulting has moved into a 2,200 square foot office/shop facility located in Highwater Business Park at 7042 Highwater Circle, Suite B,  in Edmond, Oklahoma.  After spending some quality bonding time with 3 employees in a home office, the company is enjoying some much needed space.  The space is well warranted with the addition of another new employee on December 6.

The new office features individual offices with reception, kitchen, gym and shop areas.  The office was built out especially for RRC.  The layout and interior design was provided by Red Prairie Design Group.
