Avalanches are gravity induced phenomena presenting different types of flows It is by the multiplication of issues (communications routes, zones of habitation, skiable) that these phenomena produce damage to persons and property nowadays. Since 1992, GEOLITHE possesses all the experience and skills necessary for the study and assessment of avalanche phenomena. We bring you technical support depending upon your degree of risk acceptance, your degree of securing and the desired viability.
