Geotechnics

At Artelia, we work in the field of geotechnics to support our clients in the realization of a variety of projects, whether they are transport infrastructures (roads, highways, ports, metros, tramways, airports), energy projects (production, transport, distribution) or industrial, residential and commercial buildings. Our multidisciplinary team uses its expertise at the planning stage of a project to identify the implementation risks associated with the physical characteristics of the planned site and produce recommendations to guide the design of the structure to reduce risks, ensuring stability, safety and durability.

We have our own field investigation equipment, as well as specialized laboratories for rock and soil mechanics, building materials testing and metallurgy. This autonomy allows us to carry out varied and complex mandates, with the assurance of a level of quality at all stages of the process. The availability of our equipment and in-house resources is a valuable advantage in projects with tight deadlines, as it reduces on-site response times.

As geotechnical experts, we perform advanced analyses, such as assessing soil liquefaction potential, using finite element modeling methods on a variety of structures: buildings, bridges, wharves, and other structures. We are also involved in stability studies of hydrotechnical structures, foundation design and stabilization work. Thanks to our know-how, we support our customers in the implementation of solutions adapted to the specific challenges of each project, ensuring the safety and sustainability of the infrastructures.
