geoengineering

Studies, consulting and design in the geotechnical and geological field.

Geological technical studies

• Geological, geomorphological and hydrogeological surveys and data reporting on digital maps
• Geostructural surveys and analysis of rocky outcrop
• Analysis and processing for the geotechnical and geomechanical characterization of soil and rocks
• Stability analysis of natural slopes and excavation faces

Design

• Investigation and monitoring plans during design and construction phases
• Preliminary and detailed design of underground works (tunnels, caverns, wells and foundations)
• Preliminary and detailed design of safety measures and stabilisation of slopes and excavation
• Analysis and identification of excavation methods for underground works, dimensioning of the TBM and establishing of advancement procedures (PAT)
• Analysis and identification of optimal design solutions in technical-economic terms with respect to tunnel construction bids

Applied Research

• Analysis and industrial research on innovative systems in the geoengineering field
• Design and dimensioning of prototypes
• Pre-competitive development of innovative systems and applications
• Experimentation and testing

Assistance during construction

• Tunnel excavation face surveys and re-verification during construction of actual geotechnical characteristics of the underground formations
• Analysis and interpretation of the investigations and monitoring data
• Geotechnical assistance for the adaptation of the excavation methods and support of the underground works during construction
• Supervision services of investigation surveys, monitoring activities and geoengineering construction works
