Koforia, Inc.
​
Expert Geotechnical, Pavement, Earthquake, Value Engineers and Peer Reviewers
Expect the BEST
Welcome! Koforia, Inc is a Baltimore, Maryland-based African-American SBA 8(a) certified engineering consulting firm. Koforia provides geotechnical, pavement, earthquake, value engineering services, and support our clients with peer reviews to help them confidently build on sound cost-effective foundation systems. The challenge of Geotechnical Engineering is that soil as an engineering material is consistently inconsistent. Saving a few dollars up front by doing bare minimum geotechnical studies will cost you many times more during design and construction and expose you to unnecessary risk. With our innovative geotechnical engineering and foundation testing approach to project delivery, Koforia can help minimize this risk. We look forward to collaborating with you on your projects.
