DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. PERIOD.
They expect you to tell them HOW to do their jobs. We hired them to complete borings for a TR-1 and TR-4 for underpinning on our job. Our P.E. told them what we needed. They negated to even do the required TWO boring samples per NYC BC "1803.4.1 Scope of investigation." THIS IS WHAT THEIR SUPPOSED TO DO.
Unbelievably, they only did 1 boring site despite my being able to simply find that 2 were required for our building.
Further, they came back, charged me a couple thousand to do so, then our P.E. gave them instructions on what they needed. AGAIN, they failed to meet our requests!!!! Our engineer needed, and requested, samples at 1 ft increments as we expected to only go 5-7 feet with our underpinning. Instead, they did 0-2, skipped 2-4, did 5-7, then skipped 7-9...THE EXACT DEPTHS WE NEEDED FOR THE DOB. Which, they came back and told us we were missing this information (for the 2nd time, they're telling us we don't have the right information from the boring samples).
On top of all of this, the DOB came back twice and said the TR-1 and TR-4 were input incorrectly and they were unacceptable (on top of not having the per-code information contained within it).
