Geology Services in Provo & Utah County
From the Wasatch Fault to Utah Lake’s basin, Civil Solutions Group delivers certified geology services built for Provo’s seismic conditions, freeze-thaw cycles, and rapid urban growth.
Provo’s Go-To Geology Firm for Safe, Sustainable Development
Civil Solutions Group’s Utah County engineering firm serves Provo and the surrounding communities with the local knowledge that makes the difference. We understand the Wasatch fault system, Utah Lake basin drainage behavior, and the compounding effects of Provo’s freeze-thaw cycles on soil stability.
Whether you’re breaking ground on a new development near the Timpanogos foothills or evaluating an irrigation canal along the Provo River corridor, our certified geologists deliver reports built for regulatory compliance and long-term safety.

Provo's Unique Geologic Challenges Demand Local Expertise
Utah County sits at the intersection of several distinct geologic hazard zones. The region’s rapid development, seismic activity along the Wasatch Fault, and seasonal groundwater fluctuations from snowmelt create conditions that require a geologist who knows the territory — not just the textbooks.
Our Provo-based team has direct experience assessing sites across Orem, Springville, Mapleton, Spanish Fork, Payson, and the entire I-15 corridor through Utah Valley.
1. Wasatch Fault Seismicity
One of the most active fault segments in the western U.S., requiring precise fault-rupture setback assessments for any new construction.
2. Freeze-Thaw Soil Expansion
Provo’s freeze cycles accelerate slope instability and foundation movement across foothills developments.
3. Provo River & Utah Lake Basin Drainage
Seasonal snowmelt from the Wasatch dramatically shifts groundwater levels, affecting foundations, retaining structures, and earthen embankments.
4. Steep Slope Landslide Risk
East Bench and Hobble Creek drainage slopes carry significant slide potential — especially following wet winters.
What We Do
Geologic Hazards Assessment
We identify and evaluate site-specific geologic risks throughout Utah County — including rockfall zones in the Wasatch foothills, landslide-prone East Bench slopes, sinkhole potential, active fault proximity, and flood-prone terrain near the Provo River.
Rockfall & landslide risk mapping
Fault-rupture setback evaluations
Sinkhole & subsidence analysis
Regulatory-compliant hazard reports
Mitigation recommendations
Earthen Dam Design & Review
Utah Valley’s agricultural heritage means hundreds of earthen irrigation canals, small dams, and levees criss-cross the region. Our geologists perform structural and geotechnical assessments to identify vulnerabilities and ensure your water infrastructure meets current safety standards.
Structural & geotechnical evaluation
Canal & levee condition reviews
Embankment vulnerability analysis
State & federal standards compliance
Long-term maintenance planning
Groundwater Monitoring
Utah Lake basin’s seasonal water table fluctuations can surprise developers and homeowners alike. We provide ongoing groundwater monitoring to track water levels, detect contamination, and supply the data needed for compliant, well-informed development decisions in Provo and the surrounding valley.
