This accessibility policy applies to all pages under the Geotechnical Engineering Services domain on cgcinc.net, including content related to geotechnical investigations, engineering analysis, foundation recommendations, earthwork criteria, and associated project resources.
CGC is committed to making our digital content accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Our accessibility efforts are guided by established international, federal, and industry standards to ensure equitable access to geotechnical engineering information and services.
This policy outlines CGC’s approach to meeting accessibility requirements and assisting users in accessing technical content related to subsurface investigation, laboratory testing, and site development criteria without barriers due to disability. Accessibility is integral to our mission of providing responsible and reliable engineering services to project teams, regulators, and community stakeholders.
We reference recognized accessibility standards and legal frameworks, including the:
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA success criteria, which define best practices for perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust web content. Conformance supports users who rely on assistive technologies for consuming structured engineering information such as soil classification tables, foundation design output, and geotechnical summary text.
CGC complies with the ADA’s requirement to provide accessible communication and digital content. This includes providing alternative text for images, meaningful heading structure for navigation, and ensuring users with auditory or visual impairments can access geotechnical deliverables such as reports, charts, and graphs.
For users accessing this site via federal contracts or government-sponsored projects, CGC adheres to Section 508 standards for electronic and information technology accessibility. This supports compatibility with screen readers and keyboard navigation in technical content areas such as retention analysis, earthwork criteria, and slope stability findings.
We implement accessibility features consistent with recognized practice to assist users of all abilities, including:
These features are designed to help users reliably access detailed engineering topics such as site characterization, laboratory test summaries, and design parameters without loss of information or context.
While we strive to adhere to WCAG 2.1 Level AA and related standards, some legacy documents or embedded third-party content may not fully conform. We are actively reviewing and updating these materials for accessibility compliance.
