What we do

From seabed sampling to engineering deliverables

We cover the full geotechnical cycle with specialized personnel and latest-generation instrumented equipment, in compliance with national and international standards.

Drilling rig during site investigation

Site investigation

Geological survey and interpretation to identify geotechnical risk before design and construction.

Technician recovering sample cores on deck

Field sampling & in-situ testing

Disturbed and undisturbed sampling; CPT, vane, dilatometer, pressuremeter and permeability testing.

Soil specimens in laboratory capsules

Soil mechanics laboratory

Index and mechanical properties to ASTM standards — triaxial UU/CU/CD, consolidation, carbonate content and more.

Supervision of urban geotechnical works

Geotechnical analysis & consulting

Foundation design, slope stability, numerical modeling and supervision of exploration campaigns.

How we work

Single point of responsibility across the cycle

01

Exploration

Borehole program tailored to the project, field conditions and client requirements.

02

Sampling

Piston-corer recovery of undisturbed cores and in-situ field testing.

03

Laboratory

Accredited testing under ASTM-standardized processes and regular proficiency-testing programs.

04

Engineering

Site stratigraphy, geological framework and engineering solutions for project demands.
