Our Know-how

Throughout its development, TERRASOL has given pride of place to intellectual services and engineering consulting services without any site survey or laboratory resources. This guarantees its total independance in the choice of investigation methods proposed to its clients.

TERRASOL's goal is to constantly seek the geotechnical response that is best adapted to a project and its context, integrating all technical, financial and schedule constraints. It is by combining the use of appropriate investigation methods, geomechanical site modelling and computational systems optimised to the needs of the project that TERRASOL has been able to build up its special know-how.

Through its desire to stay at the cutting edge, the TERRASOL team :

  • actively contributes to education, both in basic training and lifelong learning
  • participates in research projects in the framework of national or international projects
  • regularly publishes papers submitted to scientific publications or international conferences
  • is integrated to the life of the scientific community

Our team and resources

TERRASOL's strength is derived from its team of some 40 engineers specialised in geology and soil and rock mechanics. Most possess complementary competencies in the civil engineering areas that interface with geotechnics - structural design, construction materials, hydraulics, construction techniques.

The company's organisation in small teams is the guarantee that its accumulated experience is constantly shared among all the engineers to ensure high quality services on a solid scientific basis. The high quality of service is mirrored in the quality of the documents that is achieved thanks to the application of the latest office systems and graphics software.

Furthermore, thanks to its software development activity, its permanent monitoring of technology developments and, of course, its daily project activity, TERRASOL is highly skilled in the use of the mose powerful numerical modelling tools for geotechnics: slope stability and reinforcement, foundations, retaining structures, water seepage and finite element methods.
