Geoenvironmental evaluation and guidelines for sustainable engineering interventions- The public and private sectors need technological solutions for critical problems resulting from interventions in the physical environment, which may affect the quality of soil, surface and underground waters and of the environment in general. Engineering works such as airports, agribusinesses, sani (...)

Analysis of risks and causes of collapse and subsidence - We are sometimes taken unawares by phenomena such as soil subsidence and collapse at sites with or without civil works. IPT has ample experience in investigating the causes of such incidents, which result from carstic collapse (dissolution of chalk rock by flowing water), lowering of the water table (...)

Determination of soil and rock parameters for civil engineering and mining - The development of projects for civil engineering, mining and oil works requires characterization and evaluation of the behavior of soil and rock massifs at the worksite. IPT’s field activities and petrology, soil and rock laboratories qualify it to determine the engineering properties of thes (...)

Evaluation of the behavior of geotechnical works at reduced scale - The difficulties inherent to the execution of real-scale trials have led to the use of alternative techniques to study and forecast the behavior of large works. For this purpose, physical scale models are often used to reproduce the different phenomena and typical situations occurring in geotechnica (...)
