Kevin Colson joined LGC in September of 2001. As Vice President and Director of Geology for "LGC Coastal", Mr. Colson has over 13 years of experience in the geotechnical industry in Southern California. He has been involved in numerous projects in Southern California including: residential, commercial, retail, transportation, and public works.

Mr. Colson's expertise includes: fault investigations; landslide mitigations and slope stabilizations (by both mechanical and earthen stabilization methods); hillside grading; flat land grading; hard rock rippability studies; liquefaction studies; distress evaluations; and reviews. Mr. Colson has been the lead on several of our most complex projects including: design and construction of a major landslide stabilization with tie-backs and grade beams beneath occupied multi-storied residential structures; slope stabilizations via nail and tieback walls below active roadways; design of earthen stabilizations for several hundred foot high slopes; fault trench investigations of active and potentially active faults; and mitigation of unstable rock slopes. Mr. Colson, his wife and three children reside in San Clemente.
