 Services / Geotechnical
Solexperts is active in the development, production and application of geotechnical measurement instruments and monitoring. We can apply various methods for monitoring movement and deformation in soil, rock and concrete.
Our engineers provide support for engineering and geological consultants, as well as for government agencies and construction companies in conceptual design of complex monitoring and measurement systems.

|
Systematic monitoring with our high-precision measurement instruments and automatic data acquisition systems serves to significantly safety and at the same time optimizes costs and efficiency. |

| In-situ Testing |
|
 |
|
We specialize in performing in-situ testing to determine geotechnical properties for underground construction. Characterization of deformation behavior and the stress conditions serve as critical basis for planning and design of underground construction projects. |

| Deep Excavations |
|
 |
|
In construction of deep excavations, it is often necessary to monitor the walls and bottom of the excavation, as well as adjacent structures. Monitoring may include measurement of displacement, deformation, stress, and hydrostatic pressure. Monitoring serves to optimize constructional measures, minimize risk and to document evidence for any legal proceedings that may occur. |

| Dams, Embankments (Earthen Dams) and Locks |
|
 |
|
Safety requirements at dams are extremely high due to the potential catastrophic results of a failure of these structures. Geotechnical and geodetic monitoring is central to any dam safety plan. Solexperts' instruments and monitoring systems are used in dams around the world. |

| Pile Load Tests |
|
 |
|
We assist our clients in the design of pile load tests, as well as preparation and performance of the tests. We use our measurement systems for line-wise deformation measurement (Sliding Micrometer, TRIVEC) - often in combination with GeoMonitor, our system for automatic data acquisition and remote control of the test. The results provide the basis for determining the optimal quantity, length and diameter of the piles. |

| Slope Stability |
|
 |
|
Subsurface movement (slip planes) can be localized, characterized and monitored using the proper instruments. Such monitoring provides an important basis for the design of remedial measures and for initiating alarms, as necessary. Depending on the nature of the problem, measuring instruments are installed sub-surface (line-wise measurements) or on the surface of the slope. The combination of manual and automatic measurements provides an optimum set of data for understanding the geometry of the problem and constant monitoring for safety considerations. |
