Characterising soil type and strength

The tests carried out in our laboratories are intended to provide objective, quantified data to be able to predict soil behaviour and back up the recommendations of the geotechnical engineers.

Our geotechnical engineers rely on parameters identified in these tests to refine and optimise design parameters, reduce risks and build cost-effective, lasting structures.

Carried out according to the needs of each project and in accordance with the applicable NF, ISO and EN standards and the ISRM suggested methods, our tests are conducted for the construction of numerous structures: stability of slopes, tunnels, dams and civil engineering structures, stability of shallow foundations, studies of how structures respond to earthquakes, port structures, refineries and industrial facilities, installation and performance of the wind farm foundations, etc.
