Recognizing and investigating the conditions of a land for the implementation of a photovoltaic solar plant or a wind farm, is essential for the structures project and their foundations design, electrical substation, electrical network, road accesses, excavations and embankments to be carried out.

In this context GEOALGAR has specialized teams and equipment that allow to carry out the following tests and studies;



• Geological and Geotechnical Surveys
• Trial Pits
• SPT (Standard Penetration Test)
• DPSH (Dynamic Probing Super Heavy) Tests
• Electrical Resistivity Profiles with Wenner Device
• Resistivity and Thermal Conductivity Tests
• Soil corrosiveness analysis tests
• Tests of aggressiveness to the concrete of soils and waters
• "Pull Out" Tests
• Supervision of the foundation surfaces of the structures, during construction phase

Geotechnical construction inspection and monitoring is of vital importance to the design team and the final Customer, in order to confirm that the construction complies with the applicable national and international construction specifications and codes.

GEOALGAR in construction supervision can help ensure that unforeseen conditions during the work are quickly discovered and corrected to avoid major problems.

GEOALGAR has specialized technicians, for the monitoring of geotechnical construction work.

• Hydrologic and Hydrogeologic Studies
• Hydrogeological maps and models development
• Aquifers design
• Groundwater wells legislation and project
• Monitoring and control of water availability
• Aquifers Vulnerability analysis

Geotechnical instrumentation and its monitoring play a decisive role in the execution of geotechnical works, as it acts decisively in reducing risks and assesses possible influences both in the work itself and in nearby structures.

The experience in this field of activity of the GEOALGAR team, allows us to develop and implement efficient instrumentation programs and a rigorous approach in reading and interpreting results. Geotechnical instrumentation involves the installation of inclinometers, piezometers, strain gauges, etc.

In order to verify the integrity and quality of the piles, we also performed sonic and cross-hole tests.
