About our service

It is the science that deals with the acquisition, interpretation and use of the properties of the earth's crust materials and also the assessment of the use of terrestrial materials for the solution of engineering problems. It aims to predict the behavior of the soil and the various materials that compose it. There should not be any construction without a previous geotechnical study.

Geotechnics covers the areas of Soil Mechanics and Rock Mechanics, as well as aspects of Geology, Geophysics and related sciences.

We provide the following services related to Geotechnics:
