Geotechnical engineering and geology play a fundamental role in the development of our cities and regions. From the construction of structures, roads, dams, and buildings to the implementation of underground networks and earthworks, this expertise enables us to build all the infrastructure assets we see in our environment on solid foundations through thorough soil analysis.
The primary objective is to ensure the durability and safety of any construction. Our expertise extends to the following disciplines: earthworks, tunnels, foundations, northern environments, materials, environment, and public safety.
Infrastructure That Can Withstand the Test of Time
Our experts offer geotechnical services to handle all stages of your project. That includes surveys, drilling, laboratory testing, slope stability assessment, soil dynamics analysis, construction of temporary and permanent retaining structures, excavation design, pavement design, and deep or traditional foundation design, as well as the instrumentation of structures to monitor their behavior.
Following the analysis of soil characteristics, we provide design recommendations tailored to your project. Additionally, we prepare drawings and specifications for geotechnical engineering developments and structures.
Our Expertise: Facts and Figures
Our geotechnical and geological team is comprised of seasoned professionals with unrivalled expertise in this area. Over the years, we've been involved in numerous projects that have earned us a solid reputation.
