Robert Alperstein, P.E. founded the firm in 1991, after providing geotechnical engineering services as a member of major consulting firms for over 27 years. These
40+ years of experience have spanned the spectrum of geotechnical engineering on projects ranging in size from small to multi-billion dollars in construction cost.
RA Consultants' project experience has been mainly in the New York Metropolitan Area and in the Caribbean. However, we have undertaken assignments in North Carolina, Ohio, and Nova Scotia.
Our technical staff (including Mr. Alperstein) consists of three senior level geotechnical engineers and an engineering geologist, with experience
ranging from 10 to over 45 years. Utilizing PC's and our experience, we complete our assignments cost effectively and within schedule without relying on junior level personnel and layered management.
Laboratory soil testing is subcontracted, as are subsurface exploration services.
