Expertise in Soil Engineering

 

Our services related to soil engineering

 

Testing of earthworks

  • Static plate load tests in line with ÖNORM B 4417 and DIN 18134 including immediate analysis and on-site minutes
  • Dynamic plate load tests using the light drop-weight tester (LFG) in line with RVS 08.03.04 or ZTV E and ZTV A including immediate analysis and on-site minutes

 

Geotechnical engineering

  • Inclinometer measurements: measurement using a digital vertical inclinometer sond up to a depth of 50 m and a deviation from the vertical of +/- 30°, diameter 48-83 mm.
  • Design and structural dimensioning of the support of slopes, embankments and excavations.
  • Geological-geotechnical consultancy, civil engineering reports, design & site supervision

 

Hydrogeology

  • Measurement of surface water (flow rate, capacity, electrical conductivity, pH value, etc.)
  • Infiltration tests / seepage tests to determine the hydraulic permeability of the soil on site as a basis for the design of, for example, rainwater seepage systems in line with ÖNORM B 2506-1 and DWA-A 138 or groundwater extraction
  • Measurement of groundwater (monitoring): continuous, automatic measurement and recording of the level, temperature, electrical conductivity and pH value of groundwater, etc. via a groundwater data logger. Manual reading of data or wireless remote transmission via an in-built GPRS module with SMS warning when limiting values are exceeded
  • Design and dimensioning of wells and dewatering measures on construction sites (e.g. excavations)

 

Documentation and preservation of evidence

  • Preservation of evidence regarding objects and buildings by an experienced builder
  • Monitoring of vibration and ground motion (e.g. during the driving of sheet piles and blasting, etc.) via flexibly positionable measuring instruments. Online data server and SMS warning when limiting values are exceeded
  • Measurements of noise levels
  • Measurements of air quality
  • As-built documentation, evaluation of quantities and calculations of cubage of earthworks via photogrammetric drone flights
