Leander, Texas, continues its remarkable trajectory as one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, and groundbreaking on Shops at Hero Way Phase II marks another milestone in its commercial evolution. A.C.E. is proud to have provided the geotechnical engineering services that laid the groundwork—literally—for this 17,100 SF multi-tenant retail development. Our involvement included detailed subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, and engineering recommendations for fo

At A.C.E., we’re proud to announce the successful completion of our geotechnical engineering report for the Retail at SH 249 project located along Tomball Parkway in Houston, Texas. This exciting new one-story retail development will feature approximately 15,500 square feet of commercial space, along with a well-planned parking lot, drive-thru lanes, fire lanes, and thoughtfully designed landscaping. Our role was to provide the subsurface data and practical recommendations ne

We're excited to announce that A.C.E. has successfully completed the Readiness Training Program – Funnel 1, Cohort 5 ! This specialized program, delivered by the Bureau of Business Research and the IC² Institute at The University of Texas at Austin , is designed to small businesses like ours to build capacity, navigate government contracting processes, and compete more effectively for public sector opportunities in the Austin region and beyond. As a Texas-based geotechnic

The drill rig has been busy this week under clear Texas skies, and the shelby tube samples tell a familiar (and challenging) story: we’re firmly in the Navarro Group, specifically the Marlbrook Marl member. These Upper Cretaceous Gulf-series sediments are classic for this part of the region — dark gray to bluish-gray, blocky to waxy, extremely high-plasticity montmorillonitic fat clays (CH) with just enough calcareous content to earn the name “marl.” If you’ve built anywhere

Y’all, if this ain’t the most Texas way to kick off the holidays, I don’t know what is. Last week the A.C.E. threw on a Santa hat for an Ortega Elementary kid in East Austin with our good friends at the TSPE Travis Chapter for the annual Holiday Party. And let me tell ya: the lobby looked like the North Pole done moved to ATX. We hauled in a mountain of wrapped gifts, piled ’em high around a Christmas tree, turned that entryway into a full-blown winter wonderland, and then le

In the heart of Texas Hill Country, where the Guadalupe River winds through lush landscapes, communities are rebounding from one of the most tragic flooding events in recent history. As part of the vital recovery efforts, A.C.E. is leading geotechnical investigations to pave the way for resilient redevelopment. Today, we're taking you behind the scenes of our on-site drilling operations—a critical step in ensuring safe, sustainable rebuilding near the river and adjacent lake
