Our Mission

What we do. Atkinson Engineering, Inc., is a Texas corporation that provides consulting engineering services. Our specialty is failure analysis in the areas of structural, foundation, and geotechnical engineering. We also provide engineering design services for both new construction and remediation, and we conduct structural inspections of buildings.

We have extensive experience (more than two thousand investigations) with houses and commercial buildings constructed atop the expansive clay soils that are prevalent in Central Texas, and with the influence of plumbing leaks under foundations. Presently this accounts for 85% of our business.

Determining whether plumbing leaks have affected a foundation, first involves testing the sewer plumbing. To obtain sewer plumbing leak test results that are accurate, consistent, and reproducible, we have developed a Standard for Sewer Flow Tests.

If you are considering underpinning a post-tensioned foundation, please see PTI Underpinning.

The shrinking and swelling of expansive clay soils have caused extensive damage to homes in Central Texas, and this has led to several telephone calls daily from homeowners, concerned that their foundation may require repair. If this is you, please see our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.

This web page is not meant to provide professional engineering services. Please contact a licensed engineer about your particular concern.
