Rock Mechanics Studies
Building Solidly on Rocky Ground
Planning to build structures on construction sites with difficult, rocky ground or surfaces? Then our experts can help you. We analyze the bedrock at your construction site and evaluate its properties using all of the prescribed laboratory test methods. Based on our test results, we assess the risk potential associated with rock falls and loosened bedrock. And upon request, we also develop measures for securing rock embankments. In our work, we naturally take the type of construction you have planned into full consideration.
