Soil and ground investigations
We ensure the quality and safety of the soil and ground conditions for your construction project. Our comprehensive investigations help you anticipate and reduce construction costs.

Ensuring safe conditions for construction
Through detailed soil and ground investigations, we assess the site conditions that affect your project and support you in land use and cost planning. By understanding the actual ground and soil conditions in advance, you can identify the most suitable construction areas and avoid costly surprises during earthworks.
Our geotechnical experts specialise in site investigations and ground modelling. They determine soil quality, ground conditions, and identify any existing foundations or underground structures. In addition to our comprehensive surveys, we assess how subsurface conditions may affect construction costs and help you select the most appropriate foundation method for your site.
We also provide specialist geotechnical services to support the economic, safe, and sustainable execution of your construction project, particularly in rock engineering.
"We help identify the most suitable construction areas and avoid costly surprises during earthworks."
Comprehensive terrain surveys and investigations
Before construction begins, we carry out precise measurements to map terrain features, ground elevation, existing buildings, and other site structures. We use photogrammetry to generate spatial data and imagery that can be used in condition assessments of the project area.
Our experts also conduct thorough soil contamination and groundwater quality assessments. These include comprehensive studies of hazardous substances and pollution levels. We prepare remediation plans and oversee the entire decontamination process.
