Geotechnics

We study soil behaviour through in situ and laboratory tests, defining strength and deformation parameters that are essential for the design of foundations, structures and earthworks. Our approach allows us to anticipate behaviour, optimise designs and guarantee the safety and stability of any work on the ground.

We analyse the response of the rock mass to loads, excavations or natural stresses, characterising its strength, fracturing and structural behaviour. This study is key to designing safe excavations, defining support methods and reducing operational risks in open-pit or underground projects.

We carry out characterization campaigns that integrate structural mapping, geotechnical indices and specialized tests. This information makes it possible to classify the massif, identify discontinuities and define the necessary design criteria for excavations, tunnels, special foundations or large infrastructures. Our experience in the geotechnical characterization of deep saline formations for mining and energy storage stands out, as well as in the evaluation

We evaluate the stability of natural slopes and excavated slopes through geotechnical analysis, numerical modeling and review of hydrogeological conditions. Our studies allow us to identify risk factors, design corrective measures and guarantee the safety of infrastructures, farms and urban environments.

We analyze the behavior of the massif in underground excavations, evaluating stresses, deformations and structural conditions that may compromise its safety. We design support solutions appropriate to the geological context, optimizing safety without compromising project productivity.

We design support systems adapted to the quality of the terrain, operating conditions and project objectives. We consider bolts, mesh, gunite, trusses, fills and advanced solutions to ensure stability, extend the useful life of the infrastructure and minimize operational risks.

We determine the characteristics of the ground for the design of shallow and deep foundations. We assess load-bearing capacity, settlement and seismic conditions, ensuring that each structure rests on foundations that are safe, efficient and compliant with current regulations.

We identify and analyze geological hazards such as landslides, subsidence, structural instability, soil expansion or erosive processes. This diagnosis allows us to anticipate risk scenarios, define mitigation measures and guarantee the safety of the project during all its phases.

We evaluate the potential for subsidence or ground deformation associated with excavations, underground mining, piezometric variations or soil consolidation. Our studies integrate advanced modeling and monitoring, allowing us to foresee effects and propose preventive solutions.

We delimit areas with unfavorable geotechnical conditions through structural, geomorphological and geological analysis. This information is key for territorial planning, infrastructure design and risk reduction in urban or industrial environments.

We analyze the susceptibility of sandy soils to lose resistance during seismic events or dynamic loading. Through advanced testing and specific modeling, we offer conclusions that allow the design of safe structures and foundations in areas with seismic risk.

We carry out comprehensive studies to define the suitability of a site intended for infrastructure, industrial plants or urban developments. We include terrain characterization, geotechnical risks and technical recommendations that guide implementation and design decisions.

We provide technical support during the execution of works, offering supervision, geotechnical control and immediate solutions in the event of unforeseen ground conditions. Our support guarantees safe and efficient construction that is in line with the criteria defined in the preliminary studies.
