Geology and soil mechanics

DevArt has vast knowledge and experience in the fields of geology and soil mechanics. Our teams undertake diverse projects from soil and rock surveys to the evaluation of the soil and rock mechanical properties and geotechnical assessments on conditions for structural foundations of tunnels, dams, and other superstructures.  Our team conducts site investigations and laboratory tests and combines the results into geological-geotechnical models using 2D and 3D software analysis programs. The models are used to develop suitable foundation methods and optimize the interaction of structures’ with the ground. Since the models are based on individual samples, we use probabilistic computational models to identify the resulting uncertainties and risks of projects.

Our geological and geotechnical services include:

  1. Stability and serviceability analysis.
  2. Geological and geotechnical documentation, site investigation and consulting.
  3. Geotechnical calculations and design.
