OUR EXPERTISE

EXPERTISE ON EXISTING STRUCTURES

Piles and walls- Lengths ND measurement- Sheet piles locking ND control- Soil/structure contact quality- Crossing defects detection- Consolidation injection follow-up

Monitoring of existing structures- Measurement and recording of: * Deformations, fissures * Bending, tilting, translations * Scour and undermining * Large slidings- Remote monitoring and automated alerts

Ground anchors and nods- ND measurement of residual tension- Tendon bonded and unbonded length measurement- Deactivation and failure detection

Structural expertise- Concrete condition: chlorides penetration, carbonation, sulfates, nitrates, ettringite…- Compressive strength testing- Accelerated aging tests- Rebars concrete cover- Rebars metering and mapping- Corrosion potential in concrete (ASTM C876)- Metal thickness measurement- Corrosion protection control

Geophysics- Cavities and undermining detection- Pavement layers thickness comprehensive high accuracy control- Underground networks mapping- Railway ballast condition

Drone mapping- Dikes and riprap accurate evolution follow-up- Dredging and fillings cubature measurement- Remote Inspections

PORT ENVIRONMENT AND MAPPING

Environmental quality- Water quality: physicochemical and biological monitoring- Sediments and soils collection, and analyses- Dust and Gas Monitoring- Turbidity Monitoring- Flow and Current measurements

WORKS COMPLIANCE
