Q: How important are geotechnical studies in these projects?

Geotechnical studies are the basis of any trenchless project: they allow to know the type of soil, water pressure and ground conditions to select the appropriate technology, ensure stability and plan mitigation measures. Eurohinca performs them through its Technical Assistance and Engineering area to optimize each phase of the work.

📊 Key to the success of trenchless works.

The geotechnical studies are a must for trenchless projects because:

Determine the soil composition (clay, rock, sand, etc.) and behavior under pressure and water.
They allow you to select the appropriate technologyeither microtunneling, pipe ramming o Direct Pipeadapting methods and equipment.
They guarantee the structural and operational safetyavoiding sinking, leaks or collapses.
They facilitate the planning of mitigation measuressuch as drainage systems, additional sealing and pressure control.

Eurohinca always starts with comprehensive geotechnical studies in its area of expertise. Technical Assistance and Engineeringto define technical parameters and ensure accuracy throughout the project.
