We are a team of program managers, engineering consultants, resident inspectors, and materials testing professionals providing environmental, geotechnical and construction materials engineering and testing services. We have the ability to mobilize and set up on-site laboratories required by the project to satisfy the materials testing and inspection requirements.

Raba-Kistner’s on-site laboratories conform to Quality Control Procedures (NQA-1 when required) to ensure calibrated equipment, trained technical personnel, and appropriate resources. We will execute the program developed by the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Company (EPC).

Raba-Kistner services the following Energy sources:

» Nuclear


Nuclear

As the demand for nuclear power grows as an alternative energy source, Raba-Kistner has positioned itself to become an industry leader. We are committed to nuclear energy by our implementation of our NQA-1 Quality System for Construction Materials Field and Laboratory Testing. Our ability to accurately perform specialty testing of construction materials will bring value to the project.


» Fossil Fuels


Fossil Fuels

Raba-Kistner prides itself in having provided a wide range of services for power plants that include, oil, gas, and coal projects throughout the State of Texas. Our evaluation expertise, combined with our experience in dealing with the energy industry, allows us to bring flexibility and rapid deployment of resources in meeting clients’ needs.


» Alternative & Renewable


Alternative & Renewable

Raba-Kistner is committed to protecting the environment by supporting the development of alternative and renewable energy systems that will alleviate the dependency on the diminishing supply of fossil fuels. We provide clients with our comprehensive service lines and testing procedures with the latest technology to perform subsurface engineering investigations for wind turbines, solar technology, transmission stations and lines, and substations. Our experience extends from geotechnical investigation services which include obtaining soil and rock samples for classification and testing for the purpose of foundation design.


» Transmission


Transmission

For more than 40 years, Raba-Kistner has been serving the energy needs of local and regional utilities and industries alike. As a leader in electric power delivery systems, our extensive project history includes multiple power and transmission line projects and other significant work across the State of Texas. For linear projects, such as transmission lines, we utilize a combination of geophysical testing techniques and traditional geotechnical drilling to reduce the number of borings required while providing more contiguous subsurface information.
