GEOTHECN

GEONOR provides geotechnical engineering services in all phases of development, from the design of research campaigns, through the execution of field work and laboratory tests, to the drafting of geotechnical reports and documentation, as well as technical assistance in any of the phases.

GEONOR has extensive experience in the field of building and civil engineering geotechnics. It has successfully carried out more than 2,000 geotechnical studies of different types of buildings, as well as numerous reports and geotechnical studies of civil works (wind farms, roads, motorways, gas pipelines, dams, power stations, etc.).

GEONOR has the technical and human resources to successfully undertake geotechnical investigation campaigns for any project.

The execution over the years of a multitude of geotechnical reports for singular infrastructure works (motorways, airports, high-speed railway lines, ports, etc.) and for major building works, endorse our commitment to geotechnical investigation with the highest quality standards.

GEONOR has the means to undertake all types of geotechnical investigation boreholes, whether vertical or inclined, and up to 1,500 metres long. It also excels in the investigation of horizontal boreholes for projects and works in tunnels or other underground works with a marked horizontal layout.

In addition to the complete range of drilling machinery, it has complementary field equipment such as self-propelled penetrometers, pressure-dilatometry equipment, Vanetest, load plates, obturators for Lugeon tests, etc…

GEONOR is one of the most important companies in carrying out geotechnical studies for buildings in the northwest of the peninsula, as well as in the development of geotechnical reports for civil works in Spain.

Since 2012, GEONOR has maintained a strong presence and growth in Brazil, mainly carrying out geotechnical investigation campaigns for wind and solar farm projects.

GEONOR’s technicians have more than 15 years of experience and extensive training in geological engineering and hydrogeology, as well as in investigation techniques. The work of the technicians is excellently supported by borehole operating officers and analysts, who also have extensive experience and appropriate training for their job.

One of GEONOR’s capabilities is to carry out a turnkey geotechnical study, with all its phases being undertaken with its own resources.

GEONOR has a wide range of complementary equipment for carrying out tests on the ground under study, in order to obtain its characteristics “in situ”.

Among the tests that can be carried out in the field, we highlight the following:

  • Obtaining unaltered samples
  • Execution of SPT tests
  • Execution of dynamic penetration tests
  • Vanetest test
  • Pressure-dilatometric tests
  • Permeability tests
  • Measurement of trajectometry in boreholes
