Engineering

This area is responsible for providing engineering solution specializing in environmental geotechnics, the young civil engineering discipline that integrates classic geotechnics with environmental sciences. We offer comprehensive solutions for a series of interdisciplinary problems, derived from the interaction of environmental variables (seismic activity, groundwater, wind, etc.) with the material characteristics of the natural or artificial soil, that are present in diverse works of engineering in the mining, construction, energy and solid wastes industries. The control of environmental geotechnics enables us to guarantee environmental security and physical stability, ensuring the continuing operations of the business.

Our services in this matter address the following performance areas:

  • Studies of soil mechanics
  • Engineering design in its distinct periods
  • Diagnostics and implementation of corrective actions in geotechnical works
  • Analysis of slope stability
  • Dynamic analysis of geotechnical works
  • Determination of the run-out distance in tailings deposits
  • Geotechnical studies and designs in tailings deposits, ore leaching waste, waste rock, ash and slag
  • Geotechnical audits in massive mining deposits
  • Geotechnical monitoring of works in construction and during operation
