Terrestrial Geotechnics
Consulting in Terrestrial Geotechnical Research and Exploration Programs
.
Development and management of geotechnical research programs in accordance with the technical specifications of the projected works and under the framework of the requirements of current technical regulations.
Consultancy in Design and Evaluation of Marine and Terrestrial Geotechnical Design Parameters
.
Review, analysis and recommendation on the results of in-situ research, geophysical research and laboratory tests, concluding with the most optimal alternatives according to the client's needs.
In-Situ Testing and Auscultations
.
During the execution of drilling, geotechnical tests are carried out in-situ in order to determine the design parameters necessary for the type of soil and according to the type of work projected. All our tests and on-site auscultations are carried out under recognized technical regulations and quality standards.

Geotechnical Instrumentation
.
We supply, install and monitor advanced technology instruments to directly determine the hydrogeological and stress and deformation conditions of soils and rocks; satisfying the design criteria and prediction of the risk condition.
.
Supply and installation of Casagrande and Vibrating Wire Piezometers.
Supply and Installation of Inclinometers.
Supply for Geophysical tests (Downhole, Crosshole).
Soil Mechanics Studies through manual excavations, auscultations and field tests
.
In order to determine the foundation conditions of buildings on fine or granular soils, we carry out manual excavations up to 25.00 m deep and in-situ tests. We carry out this operation with personnel with proven experience and technical training in safety for work in confined spaces.

Others.
Supervision of Geotechnical Projects
.
Monitoring and control of the work commissioned, verifying compliance with the technical, safety, environmental and contractual labor standards and specifications of the following specialties:
.
Building works.
Waterworks.
Special foundations (piles, others).
Geotechnical works (anchors, slope stabilization).
Special works.
Instrumentation and Monitoring of Control Devices
.
We monitor geotechnical instrumentation to determine the behavior of soil instability, its evolution over time and the effect on the safety and integrity of the structures involved. With the information collected, the type of geotechnical control to manage risks and early warning systems is defined.
Design of foundations, anchors, dams and walls
.
We carry out designs under geotechnical models of shallow and deep foundation systems, as well as ground stabilization and active or passive support systems.
Shallow foundations.
Deep foundations.
Design of anchorages and anchored screens.
Design of earth, rock and tailings dams.
Retaining walls.
