Cement manufacturing is a down-to-earth activity! From the geotechnical investigation for the most suitable design of the foundations, to the planning of quarrying tasks, our ground and office geologists and engineers will support your needs.

Quarry assessment and evaluation

We can provide geotechnical and geological experts for quarry assessment: from the estimation of reserves and quality of raw materials, to the mining plan or the selection of the most suitable equipment.

Expertise on alternative foundation methods

Foundation design is typically one of the main sources of deviation in Capex projects for the cement industry. Soils with low bearing capacity have caused projects to be canceled, and budget contingencies to vanish during the first stages of construction. There are alternatives in the geotechnical domain beyond the one-solution-fits-all (aka piling), and we can provide such practical advice.

Supervision of geotechnical surveys

A good geotechnical investigation is critical for a proper foundations design. Although the field and lab works are well standardized, workmanship and experience are still important: it is frustratingly easy to spoil a clay or silt sample, or to conduct a site test in the wrong way. We recommend that qualified personnel is present at the geotechnical sites, and we can provide this staff, ready to be deployed.
