From the building's foundation to the neighbour's retaining wall, geotechnical investigation defines the design, the cost and the risk of any civil works. We deliver the complete plan, from the borehole to the laboratory.
SPT drilling and CPTu tests characterise the strength profile for the selection and design of shallow or deep foundations.
Strength and deformability parameters for the design of retaining structures, with undisturbed sampling and laboratory tests.
Compaction quality control with a mobile laboratory on site, from characterisation tests to fill control.
DMT and consolidation tests to predict settlement in compressible soils, before it turns into damage.
Our own fleet and crews, mobilised to any region of Brazil, with reports in accordance with standards and our own laboratory to close the investigation cycle.
The testing plan is defined together with the client's engineering team, combining the methods according to the ground and the project phase.
We combine the methods according to the ground and the project phase, from the initial campaign to technological control on site.
The benchmark test of Brazilian geotechnics: penetration resistance index and a soil sample every metre, the basis for foundation selection.
View service →Resistance, friction and pore pressure measured in real time, the continuous subsoil profile to characterise the strength profile without recovering a sample.
View service →The Marchetti blade measures soil stiffness in situ, to predict settlement in compressible soils before it turns into damage.
View service →Drilling and collection of undisturbed samples for retaining structures and excavations, the sample that the laboratory test requires.
View service →Characterisation, consolidation and compaction to close the investigation cycle, from the design parameter to fill control on site.
View area →CPTu and vane tests in tailings dams, instrumentation, diamond core drilling and mineral exploration at great depths.
Geotechnical drilling and testing for transmission lines, wind farms and substations, with our own logistics across Brazil.
Nearshore CPTu tests, vane test and sampling in soft lowland soils for ports, pipelines and industrial facilities.
