CESEL carries out geological studies aimed at supporting its projects. It also performs a wide variety of geotechnical exploration services, such as: wash boring drilling, standard penetration test (SPT), cone dynamic penetration test (CPT), light dynamic penetration test (DPL). ), auscultation of drilling (Iwan Auger), logs through pits and trenches, compaction controls, in-situ permeability tests, direct load test (Plate), geomechanical stations, "Tilt Test", instrumentation and monitoring of piezometers and of inclinometers (for unstable slopes). Geophysical tests: seismic refraction, downhole, vertical electrical drilling, geotechnical studies for foundations (superficial and deep), tunnels, slope stability, dams,
GEOLOGY
- Local surface and underground geological evaluation. Studies of geomorphology, geodynamics and geological risks.
- Sampling of structures, veins, mantles, alteration zones, definition of deposit types, hydrothermal levels of mineralization and geophysical and geochemical interpretation.
- Geological-structural analysis for the geotechnical design of slope and tunnel support.
GEOTECHNICS
- Soil mechanics study, admissible capacity analysis and maximum soil deformations for shallow and deep foundations.
- Geomechanical evaluation to qualify the rock mass in tunnels, foundations and slopes.
- Geotechnical studies focused on soil and rock slope stability analysis, design of solution alternatives in critical scenarios (gabion walls, MSE walls, grids, anchors, etc.).
GEOTECHNICS
- Evaluation and design of the type of support and slopes based on the geomechanical behavior of the rock mass.
- Numerical modeling by means of finite elements in 2D and 3D for the simulation of the non-linear behavior of soils and rocks, static and dynamic stress-strain analysis, simulation of construction by stages, of geotechnical structures such as dams, embankments, foundations, excavations and tunnels.
GEOTECHNICS
