I need an experienced, licensed civil or highway engineer to come to my property in Malvern, Pennsylvania and evaluate the structural integrity of the public road directly in front of my house. My main worry is foundation stability rather than routine surface wear: the berm has begun to erode and I fear that the underlying base may be compromised. During the site visit I’d like you to: • Inspect roughly 20–30 ft of roadway shoulder and travel lane in front of my driveway, noting any subsidence, voids, or loss of sub-base • Document the current condition with photos and brief sketches • Identify the root cause of the berm erosion and estimate how it is affecting the road’s load-bearing capacity Please deliver a concise written report in PDF format, including all observations, supporting photos, and your professional conclusion. If you normally use tools such as dynamic cone penetrometer, lightweight deflectometer, or ground-penetrating radar, let me know in your proposal so we can discuss access and logistics. A Pennsylvania-licensed PE is strongly preferred, but I am open to discussing qualifications as long as you have relevant highway or pavement design experience. Site access is flexible; evenings or weekends are possible.

Hi, This is Maksim. I carefully reviewed your project description and understand that you need a professional evaluation of the roadway and berm conditions in front of your property in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with specific focus on erosion, possible sub-base failure, and the potential impact on structural stability and load-bearing performance of the roadway section. I have more than 10 years of experience in civil engineering, site development, grading, drainage assessment, and roadway-related structural evaluations, including erosion investigation and pavement support condition analysis. I can assist with a detailed field review of the affected roadway shoulder and adjacent travel lane area, documenting visible settlement, berm deterioration, drainage behavior, and any indicators of subgrade instability or loss of structural support. My experience includes preparing concise engineering assessment reports with photographs, sketches, condition observations, and practical recommendations regarding roadway stabilization, drainage correction, and further testing if required. I would be happy to discuss the site conditions further, review any available photos or history of the erosion issue, and coordinate the scope, scheduling, and reporting expectations for the roadway assessment. Thanks.
