ABOUT CTI
CTI Inc provides services on several dozen projects each year. Our culture, systems and structure enable us to excel at both small and large projects. By combining our national resources with specific local area expertise, we consistently overcome obstacles and deliver the results our clients expect.
Before owners can build highways, dams, buildings and other structures, they need a company service to help determine how the characteristics of the soil conditions on the site will react under the stress caused by the weight of the structure. CTI is the company that can determine those conditions using geotechnical instrumentation for reliable results.

Vibration Monitoring
-
Ground vibration comes from many sources in the construction industries – but no matter where it comes from, it can create a wide range of concerns for adjacent neighbors and structures. When dealing with man-made vibration, levels may require monitoring and vibration analysis to prevent damage. CTI Inc vibration monitoring services provide the solid technical information and vibration data needed to assess such concerns and devise solutions.
-
All of our units maintain the highest calibration evaluations and standards. When equipment works properly, no questions can be generated about the accuracy of the information, which also provides the basis for sound technical evaluations.

Ground vibration comes from many sources in the construction, mining and energy development industries - but no matter where it comes from, it can create concerns for equipment, structures or adjacent neighbors. When dealing with equipment, vibration levels may require monitoring and analysis to prevent damage. Where people are involved, there may be an even lower tolerance threshold to consider. CTI Inc. vibration monitoring services provide the solid technical information needed to assess such concerns and devise solutions. All of our units maintain the highest calibration evaluations and standards. When equipment works properly, no questions can be generated about the accuracy of the information, which also provides the basis for sound technical evaluations
