From the building foundation to the tailings dam, the same investigation engineering serving sectors with very different demands.
The choice of test changes with the soil, the structure and the risk. Below, the sectors Damasco Penna works in and what it typically investigates in each one.
Foundations, retaining structures and earthworks for buildings and urban infrastructure.
Tailings dams, waste rock piles and deep mineral exploration.
Transmission lines, wind farms and substations across the country.
Soft soils, nearshore testing and waterfront structures.
For most projects, the first step is to open the borehole, measure strength and stiffness and recover the subsoil sample.
