Applied Foundation Testing, Inc. (AFT) is Specialty Geotechnical Testing Firm dedicated to the art and practice of Contemporary Foundation Quality Assurance Test Methods. AFT is a team of highly specialized geotechnical engineers, technicians and support professionals totally devoted to the foundation industry. AFT was founded over 10 years ago by Mr. Don Robertson, P.E. and Mr. Mike Muchard, P.E. Our most important founding beliefs were to apply all of our energy into specialization and offer our skills as a true independent agency. Unlike other geotechnical firms, AFT is 100 percent focused on foundation testing technologies. Therein, we have developed unparalleled technical knowledge of each test method offered. However, we have been told by our clients that one of our greatest qualities is our uncommon ability to provide practical interpretation of the data as is relates to their project needs.

Our independent status is particularly valuable to owners and contractors, whom are our greatest cliental, seeking third party testing. Our independence also allows AFT to provide a competitive advantage to consultants by strengthening their capabilities, not competing with them. Now with four offices nationwide, these principles proved to be an equation for success and continuing growth. AFT works in a niche market which demands high mobility of our professionals. Our ability to provide quick response to regional, national and international clients is not bounded by geographical distinctions. We understand the paramount importance of project schedules and budgets and are very cognizant of both.

We are committed to continual investment in equipment and training so you can be assured that no other firm is more qualified than AFT in the methods we offer. We have pioneered new technologies which have had profound effects on the foundation industry such as STATNAMIC® Load Testing, Smartpile® Wireless Dynamic Pile Testing, and SynchroPile® Post Grouted Drilled Shafts. We constantly read and react to industry needs and stay one step ahead. We maintain close relationships with academia and support deep foundation research activities. Our contributions have lead to many significant advances in equipment development, data acquisition, more accurate analysis methods and most importantly safer and more cost effective foundations.
