Geotechnical Surveys & Studies
Having been active for many years in the field of geotechnical surveys and studies starting from scratch, that is to say from the initial phase of the planning, coordination and supervision of in situ works (investigation), the execution of laboratory tests and subsequently the evaluation of the generated data, incorporating them in the production of geotechnical studies, the content of which sums up to documented and balanced solutions for optimum results regarding the design and construction of all kinds of private and public projects, Geo-Eng Network possesses extensive experience combined with the highly-trained human resources in order to undertake the following:
- Programming, supervision and evaluation of geotechnical surveys (core drilling, cone penetrometer tests, trial pit logs, installation and monitoring of geotechnical data recording instruments, in situ and laboratory testing)
- Geotechnical studies regarding the foundation of building facilities and other structures (bridges, tunnels, dams), providing alternative solutions concerning the foundation depth (shallow or deep), the foundation type (raft, spread footing, piles etc), bearing capacity and settlements calculation, excavation/slope control, soil strengthening/improvement and underground water location/tracing
- Embankments – Open Cuts, incorporating stability analysis together with proposals of temporary/permanent retaining measures and corrosion-protective measures, reinforced embankments, walls, pile walls, steel pile boards, diaphragm walls and walls by anchors and shotcrete
- Restoration and stabilization of landslides with the use of drainage, retaining and improvement measures
- Pavement dimensioning and validation testing of borrow materials
- Studies for Sanitary Landfills and Restoration of existing Uncontrolled Dumps
- Geotechnical Studies of hydraulic and gas projects, both for pipelines routing and for the foundation of pumping stations, aqueducts, tanks and silos
Geological, Hydrogeological and Geophysical Surveys & Studies
The field of geological surveys and studies is a key activity object for Geo-Eng Network and it covers the broader knowledge spectrum of Geology as a science (Engineering Geology, Geophysics, Seismology, Sedimentology, Petrology etc.). Specifically, we design/produce:
