About Cumberland Geoservices

Independent consulting

Cumberland Geoservices works directly for clients — not as a subcontractor to a construction firm or under pressure to support a predetermined outcome.

That independence matters when technical conclusions carry weight: in regulatory submittals, safety evaluations, or decisions about aging infrastructure.

Cumberland Geoservices is the independent consulting practice of Peter Krembs, PG, an Engineering Geologist based in Nashville, Tennessee. I work with clients throughout the state and across the mid-South region. My background includes extensive federal experience in dam safety and geotechnical work across Tennessee and surrounding areas.

I focus on dam safety, slope stability, and seismic hazard — technical areas where geologic understanding is central to good engineering decisions. My work covers the full range from field investigation through analysis, documentation, and regulatory support.

I hold a Tennessee Professional Geologist registration and graduate training in geologic hazards and geological engineering. My clients include engineering firms, government agencies, and infrastructure owners who need reliable, independent geologic analysis.

Whether you need a technical review, a dam safety second opinion, or a geotechnical partner for a complex project — I'm glad to talk through what you're working on.
