Foundation Engineering
We are your experts in advanced foundation systems, particularly pile raft foundations. We have been implementing this solution for many years in industrial and high-rise buildings, both in Switzerland and abroad. We rely on our decades of experience in this field.
Our solutions have allowed project owners to save time and money and, in many cases, enabled the general contractor or construction company to win the bid for the entire project.
Excavations and retaining structures
We design, optimize, and build innovative excavation retaining wall solutions for complex soil conditions, particularly in heavily built environments. We rely on our decades of experience in this field.
Our solutions have allowed project owners to save time and money, and in many cases, have enabled the general contractor or construction company to win the bid for the entire project.
Underground Structures
We design, optimize, and build underground structures such as shafts, tunnels, caverns, and water intakes. In particular, we are experts in settlement estimation and risk analysis.
We love to dig deep!
Dam and river Engineering
As passionate geotechnical engineers, we are dedicated to dam and water-retaining structures. We are experts in the design and monitoring of river dikes and, more broadly, both earth and concrete dams.
We also specialize in assessing the safety and risks of existing structures, as well as planning monitoring systems, particularly those based on distributed fiber-optic technology. We are committed to ensuring a safe and unspoiled environment!
Complex Simulations
We simulate the most complex geomechanical problems using the most advanced calculation tools on the market. We perform both static and dynamic small and large strain calculations and have over 20 years of expert experience.
Our calculations have enabled optimized designs, resulting in considerable time and cost savings. In some cases, they have led to the creation of remarkable engineering works that remain visible—a rarity for geotechnical structures.
We have also clarified the causes of many failures and mitigated risks in complex soil-water interactions, terraqua!
Natural Hazards
We identify, clarify, and assess risks from natural hazards, such as slope instability and rockfalls.
Our analyses serve as the fundamental starting point for designing effective mitigation solutions, which we also provide.
Advanced Geotechnical Monitoring and Testing
We have been experts in testing and monitoring since the start of our professional journey. The key to success lies in meticulous preparation through exceptional design and planning. We know how to achieve it effectively.
By leveraging advanced in situ test methods to thoroughly test soil conditions, we develop solutions that help clients save substantial resources and time. Our monitoring processes ensure design validation and maintain safety at every stage of construction.
Large Geotechnical and Hydraulic Structures
We are expert in designing exceptional structures, particularly high retaining walls. We believe retaining walls should, whenever possible, be self-supporting.
Our innovative solutions have enabled the construction of extremely high retaining structures without anchor support, even in densely populated urban areas.
