The Geotechnical Institute is concerned with all the problems of foundation engineering. Building site explorations, stability calculations, consultancy, supervision and technical tests are carried out for foundation engineering, earthwork engineering, landfill construction, rock workings and tunnelling.
We are active in the following areas:
- Earthwork and hydraulic
(dams, landfills, drainage systems, seepage)
- Landfill construction research projects
(mineral cap seals, geosynthetic clay liners…)
- Hydro-geology
(ground water models, water rights procedures, protection against flooding, building in ground water)
- Geology
(geological soil structure, rock stabilisation)
- Building construction, bridge building
(foundations of all kinds: house building, industrial building, tower construction, historical buildings)
- Civil surface and underground engineering
(sewage plants, pipe laying)
- Measurement
(vibrations, distortion, tension)
- Special surface and underground engineering
(checking anchors, building sites, slope failure protection, supporting constructions, deep foundations, underpinning)
- Underground construction
(tunnelling, tunnel driving, micro-tunnelling)
- Model testing bay
(confirming calculatory models, quantifying stability …)
- Soil as a building material
(soil material, strengthening, immobilising, filling cavities)
What can we do for you?
- consultancy and expert opinion for your draft, in accordance with HOAI
- material examination: soil, rock
- site examinations: drillings, probes, in situ trials
- engineering tests and approvals
- suitability examinations, sample loads
- going to tender, site management, quality assurance, acceptance
- expert opinion on site soil conditions and foundations for all kinds of buildings
