Technical and applied geology practice

Reading what
the ground
does not reveal.

Applied geology and geophysics turn subsurface uncertainty into measurable, practical technical knowledge.

Services and consulting

One discipline.
Multiple scales.

Geology defines the context. Geophysics measures physical contrasts. Interpretation integrates the results into a coherent model built around the engineering question.

01

Applied geology

Geological consulting for civil and building works: from the site geological model and investigation planning to technical support during design and construction.

Operational focus

GPR: the method
becomes vision.

Ground Penetrating Radar is a non-invasive electromagnetic geophysical method. Frequency selection, acquisition geometry and processing transform individual radargrams into plan and three-dimensional target models.

From fieldwork to the digital model

We do not deliver
just lines.
We build evidence.

Follow the complete data workflow: survey grid and live radargrams, processing, plan mapping of targets and three-dimensional interpretation.

Inside the data

From radar response to the subsurface.

Move the pointer over the radargram. The road section appears below and is revealed from left to right as you explore the profile.

Preliminary technical assessment

Let’s define the right survey before entering the field.

Share the location, objective and available documentation. You will receive an initial assessment of the most suitable methodology and deliverables.

Plans, PDF, DWG, KMZ and photographs can be attached by email or sent via WhatsApp.

Practice and contact

Let us discuss
your project.

Send a brief description of the site, structure and objective. The first step is identifying the investigation method that can produce genuinely useful evidence.
