CONT

Système géotechnique de surveillance. Naturellement, une fouille de ce type doit être surveillée. Pour exécuter cette tâche, le projet prévoit la mise en place d'inclinomètres, extensomètres et autres instruments géotechniques de surveillance. La mise en place de ces appareils nous permet de déceler d'éventuels mouvements, de les quantifier et d'intervenir rapidement pour les maîtriser.

CONT

Conception, fabrication et commercialisation d'instruments géotechniques et structuraux.
