Raba-Kistner’s goal is to improve our client’s project performance by putting our extensive geotechnical engineering experience to work. Since 1968, we have developed engineering solutions for complex surface and subsurface conditions across the Southwest.

Our professionals clearly understand the interrelationship between our geologic environment and the objectives of clients. We have worked on some of the region’s largest and most significant construction projects. Over the past 37 years and presently, our geotechnical team successfully tailors cost effective scopes of service to fit individual project requirements. Every project is unique. We take advantage of advanced technology including geophysical surveys and pressuremeter testing. Faced with challenging underground issues, these tools were critical in constructing San Antonio’s Toyota Texas Motor Manufacturing Plant, the Frost Towers, and the Spurs Arena (SBC Center).

Our firm’s staff serves a broad market. Clients receive the advantage of our shared experience between markets, and one of the largest archives of geotechnical data. We tackle site conditions ranging from coastal sands to expansive clay soils to rock formations. Raba-Kistner’s geotechnical footprint has marked distribution and retail centers, high rise structures, sports arenas and convention centers. We have served numerous educational and healthcare campuses, military installations, and international airports. Our team has also worked closely with clients on regional water/wastewater utilities and energy transmission systems, first-in-the-state transportation initiatives, and major industrial and manufacturing facilities.

Raba-Kistner’s professionals strive to be responsive to our client’s schedule, comprehensive in their scope, and realistic and cost-conscious in their recommendations.
