Geological studies and surveys
Let's start from the basics: the study of the Earth
Through the gaia division, we offer a wide range of geological, geotechnical and geognostic services, aimed at characterising the lands intended for the realisation of any type of work. Thanks to partnerships with certified companies and laboratories, we also guarantee the execution of the necessary investigations on site.
APPLIED GEOLOGY AND GEOTECHNICS
- Geological and geotechnical engineering for civil engineering and hydraulics works
- Planning of geognostic and geotechnical investigations on site and in the laboratory; drafting technical specifications
- Geological, geomorphologic and geological-technical surveys, with the preparation of thematic maps in CAD and / or GIS environments.
- Applied geomorphologic studies and geo-mechanical surveys addressed to landslide or rock-landslide problems
- Geological studies in support of spatial planning (municipal P.R.G., PTP, PTR)
- Hydrogeology: delimitation of aquifers, flow analysis, definition of safeguard areas
- Studies about hydro geological hazard and hydro geological instability
- Geological-environmental feasibility studies for engineering works
- Analysis and verification of stability of slopes in ground and in rock, with assessment and zoning of danger and landslide risk
- Design for consolidation and / or securing of landslides or collapse of rocky blocks
- Stratigraphic reconstruction of subsoil and geotechnical characterisation of soils
- Drafting of geological, geotechnical reports in accordance with the rules in force
- Studies of seismic risk
- Consultancy in the management of excavated lands and rocks.
ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
- Drafting of plans for the characterization of remediation and environmental restoration of polluted sites in accordance with current legislation
- Environmental investigations, environmental surveys and soil and water sampling activities to be subjected to chemical analysis in accordance with current legislation
- Sanitary and environmental risk analysis
