About us
Who we are, what we’ve done, what we do
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Frank Groffie is a California geologist with 20+ years of experience helping to develop residential, commercial,
and public properties. He’s provided a broad range of geology services on a wide range of projects: localized,
small, medium, large, and national.
Settlement and drainage issues under one part of a house or lot. |
Single-family homesites with typical site development issues. |
Facilities and multiunit developments with multiple issues, such as slope stability and faulting. |
Sites
spanning several square miles with multiple complex, interdependent issues, including EIR processing. |
Selecting
sites and technologies for nuclear waste treatment and disposal. |
Most of Groffie’s experience is in the geology of central California, ranging north to Mendocino County, east to
Merced County, and south to Monterey County, a radius of about 150 miles from an office base in San Jose.
Geologic issues in this area may be more varied and complex than anywhere else: earthquake shaking hazards,
surface fault rupture zones, slope instability, naturally occurring asbestos, erosion, unusual soil, rock, and
groundwater conditions, and more.

We strive for clarity, communication, and closure when delivering our services.
- Clarity: getting the critical geology right, using laserlike focus.
- Communication: clear talk at every step, with clients regarding their expectations and with associates regarding what we need from each other, and then rapid preparation of a clear report.
- Closure: gaining timely agreement from reviewers and other stakeholders, so your geology report becomes merely a formality.
Currently he consults for property owners and civil and structural engineers; past clients he’s worked with have
included several major developers and public agencies.
