In-situ testing
Site investigations are complementary to laboratory tests and play fundamental role for a proper definition of the subsurface geotechnical model. The main advantages are the direct observation and reconstruction of soil stratigraphy connected to the project and the possibility to test the soil in the real physical and stress state.
ISMGEO proposes geotechnical investigation and in-situ testing for the geomechanical and envornmental characterization of soils. The company is accredited by the Italian Board of Public Works for in-situ geotechnical testing.
