Welcome to TCEL
Geoprofessionals Serving Texas
TCEL is comprised entirely of firms that provide geoprofessional services including geotechnical, geological, environmental, construction materials engineering and testing, and related professional services in the State of Texas.
The goal of TCEL is to promote professionalism in the science and practice of geoprofessional services through collaboration, education and training.
Upcoming Events
TCEL North Central Texas Lunch and Learn Membership Meeting
Presentation which will cover lifting via injection of expanding polymers and soil densification and chemical and potassium clay stabilization.
TCEL Asphalt Pavement Training Short Course
Texas Asphalt Pavement Association will be presenting a short course on asphalt.

Geotechnical
Geotechnical engineering, a branch of civil engineering, that uses principles of soil and rock mechanics to evaluate subsurface conditions and materials; determine the relevant physical/mechanical and chemical properties of those materials; evaluate stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits; assess risks posed by site conditions; design earthworks and structure foundations; and monitor site conditions, earthwork and foundation construction.
Materials
Construction materials engineering and testing (CoMET), generally considered a civil engineering specialty because of its application to construction, encompasses not only elements of civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering but mechanical engineering and materials science along with aspects of the basic sciences of physics (mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and vibration) and chemistry (biology, chemical attack, and corrosion). CoMET engineers and technicians are involved in testing, evaluating, and monitoring the variety of materials and processes used in construction to determine specification compliance and performance characteristics.
environmental
Environmental engineering, an engineering discipline, where environmental science provides a means to identify, assess, regulate, and remediate various environmental impacts prior to, during and after construction projects. Such services can include site assessments, investigations, and site development; asbestos surveys and lead services, brownfields, facility assessments, site remediations, compliance regulatory assessments, air quality and consultation.
ndt & specialty testing
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), a means of assessing, reviewing, and evaluating construction components or assemblies (primarily steel) through specialty testing and observation test methods. These services are similar to Construction Materials Testing, with an emphasis on structural steel components used, fabricated and assembled in the construction of buildings, manufacturing and infrastructure industries to determine specification compliance and performance characteristics.
