Integrated Soil and Geotechnical Studies
Soil and subsurface characterisation through in-situ and laboratory testing, boreholes and geophysical methods, to design dependable foundations and reduce the risk in your works. Get reliable results with SPT and CPT testing, boreholes, test pits, dynamic soil characterisation (MASW, ReMi, Nakamura) and foundation assessment, with a clear technical report for decision-making.
What are soil studies?
Soil studies are the set of tests and analyses that determine the physical and mechanical properties of the ground: stratigraphy, bearing capacity, water table, compressibility and the seismic behaviour of the subsurface.
They are the foundation of any construction or infrastructure project: they define the foundation type, anticipate settlement and let you size the works safely and cost-effectively.
Advanced technology and standardised methods to characterise the ground through the following techniques:
- Geotechnical investigation: SPT, boreholes, test pits and pull-out tests
- CPT / CPTu testing (static penetration with piezocone)
- Laboratory testing: particle size, Atterberg limits, triaxial, consolidation
- Soil studies using seismic methods (marine and land)
- Dynamic soil characterisation (MASW, ReMi, Nakamura)
- Foundation assessment (parallel seismic)
- Pile integrity testing (PIT, CrossHole, Borehole)
- Electrical resistivity tomography and resistivity surveys
- Subsurface studies with ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
- Bearing capacity and permeability testing (deflectometry, infiltration)
- Groundwater and water reservoir studies
- Determination of geotechnical parameters for foundation design
