Engineering and Testing Solutions, LLC (ETS) was formed in 1999. The firm’s partners are Michael Whaley, P.E. and Chad Smock, P.E. Both are licensed professional engineers with decades of experience providing geotechnical and construction testing services. 

Our  offices are located in Knoxville and Sevierville, Tennessee with laboratories equipped for performing soil and material testing as well as concrete testing and storage/maintenance area for our geotechnical drilling equipment.

ETS is certified by the State of Tennessee Governor’s Office of Diversity Business Enterprise (DBE) and accredited by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official (AASHTO). Our company is staffed with experienced drillers and engineering technicians that are certified by both the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET). 

We believe the qualifications and experience of our firm as well as our established quality assurance procedures have proven to have been of significant value in the successful completion of many projects in the greater Knoxville area and the surrounding region of east Tennessee.
