Background

About Alan Rutherford

Columbia West is a locally owned, full-service geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, special inspections and materials testing firm located in Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon. We serve a broad territory in SW Washington and NW Oregon providing a full range of consulting from geotechnical feasibility and site characterization to earthwork/ground improvement QA/QC and building inspection. As a Geologist and Senior Project Manager, I work closely with land development clients, municipalities, and school districts to provide geotechnical feasibility investigations, geohazard assessments, slope stability assessments, liquefaction analyses, pavement design and overlay analyses, and soil infiltration tests. I also provide materials testing and special inspection proposals and help manage a crew of service-oriented inspectors to navigate projects through agency specifications for testing and building inspection.
