Geotechnical surveys for residential, commercial, office, hospital buildings, and carparks.

Since our inception in 2007, GMS Internacional has worked intensively in conducting geotechnical surveys for the building sector, both residential and industrial.

With hundreds of surveys carried out, we have extensive experience in the sector.

GMS Internacional has more than 20 years’ experience conducting geotechnical surveys for the building sector.

Geotechnical campaigns for single-family dwellings.
Geotechnical campaigns for residential, hotel and office buildings.
Geotechnical campaigns for carparks and other buried/underground structures.
Georadar studies to detect buried structures.
Calculation of bearing capacities and settlements for superficial and deep foundations.
Determining soil corrosion levels.
Geotechnical reports

Among the works provided by GMS Internacional in the field of building construction are the following:

Geotechnics

Rotary sounding for geotechnical surveys in buildings, industrial warehouses, or housing estates.
Dynamic penetration tests.
Trial-pits and brief soil description.
Geophysical surveys for buildings, including:

— GPR (georadar) to identify buried structures and services
— measurement of surface seismic waves (MASW, ReMi)
— down-hole and cross-hole tests
— measurement of electrical resistivity at depth
— measurement of thermal resistivity
