SOIL MECHANICS
- Soil studies for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings as well as for mines, public facilities and infrastructures.
- Design or recommendations for retaining walls, temporary and permanent earth-retaining structures for deep excavations, sheet pile walls, anchor systems, piles, caissions, underpinning and injections, and construction supervision.
- Natural and artificial slope stability studies, stabilization using berms, anchors, piles and walls.
- Analysis of landslides and failed earth-retaining structures, plans and specifications for stabilization and reconstruction.
- Foundation studies and/or design services for retention dykes and dams, mine access shafts, transmission towers, industries and residential/ commercial developments.
- Dike constructions on loose mine tailings, very soft clay deposits and organic soils.
- Special foundations on soft clay: partially or totally compensated, reinforced concrete foundation walls, structural slab on grade, piles.
- Analyses of movements and defects of all types in building foundations, inside and outside parking structures, roads, dikes and dams.
- Foundation design for machines and structures under dynamic, eccentric and inclined loads.
- Foundation studies in permafrost.
