Join us on November 17, 2026, from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM (CT) for a breakfast hosted by Geo-Technology Associates, Inc.

What's below the surface can make or break a development deal. Join us at the Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. (GTA) Nashville office for a conversation featuring Dan Terranova and Priya Patel of Geo-Technology Associates, Inc. on the geotechnical side of due diligence.

We will discuss problematic soils and underlying ground conditions that drive cost, schedule, and design decisions across Middle Tennessee.

Attendees will gain insight into:

  • Red flags to watch for early in site selection, including slippage clays, shallow rock, karst geology, and fill of unknown origin

  • How identifying problematic ground conditions early can help avoid costly surprises after closing

  • How subsurface conditions can impact project cost, schedule, and design decisions

  • The role of construction observation and materials testing once construction begins

  • How concrete testing helps verify that what gets built matches what was designed

This event will provide valuable industry insights and an opportunity to connect with fellow professionals.
