REI Consultant's Soil and Geologic Department has the experience and expertise to determine the physical and chemical properties of soils and geologic materials prior to major earthmoving operations, including surface mining, highway construction and land development.

Overburden analysis by Acid-Base Accounting is the primary method used to delineate potentially toxic materials as well as highly fertile strata. This information is used to guide overburden placement reducing earthmoving, maintaining water quality and limiting revegetation costs and liabilities.

REIC's senior staff has a wide range of experience in the sampling, research and reclamation of problematic sites. Available analyses range from simple pH and texture, to elaborate simulated weathering cells used to evaluate the effectiveness of ameliorating agents and material placement. The Soil and Overburden Department uses REIC's full complement of scientists and instrumentation to provide uncompromised service on a consistent basis.
