Geotechnics
Observation method
Geotechnical instrumentation, in-situ measurements and field tests provide reliable information on the behaviour of structures. Measurements serve as a basis for risk assessments with the observation method and are important for safe, cost- and time-optimised construction.
Competence and experience
Over decades, we have gained experience with a wide variety of measuring systems and methods in countless projects. This is why you can assume that our civil engineers and measurement technicians are highly competent not only in Solexperts measurement methods and systems, but also in dealing with measurement devices and sensors from other manufacturers.
Customer-friendly
Our clients benefit from our expertise and the close cooperation with our geotechnical engineers, for example in the development of instrumentation concepts and applicable measurement methods.
