Slope Stability

The geological and geotechnical departments play a fundamental role in the design of each project undertaken by Profert SA. The department provides the following: Geotechnical characterization of soils and rocks, design of special foundations, infiltration analysis for dams and levees, design of slope protection, embankment dam stability, supervision of geotechnical/geophysical field works, definition of geotechnical investigation programme, evaluation of geotechnical problems. All applied to various engineering projects, from the preliminary design with an accurate geological investigation and mapping of the studied area considering the structural characteristics and tectonic aspects, up to the executive design which defines the geotechnical investigation.
