GEOLITHE performs geotechnical and hydrodynamic studies, missions of assessment and project management of consolidation of hydraulic structures. In addition, GEOLITHE is accredited under the decree 2007-1735 of MEDD (Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development) to perform missions of assessment and project management on hydraulic structures such as seawalls and small dams.
- Terrestrial and aquatic geophysical reconnaissance: seismic refraction, electrical panels, electromagnetic, radar
- Geotechnical reconnaissances: mechanical shovel probing, dynamic cone penetrometer, pressuremeter probing, coring
- Laboratory testing: identification, geomechanical tests, oedometer tests, (compression studies)
- Geological and geotechnical assessment of structures, analysis and evaluation of induced deformations,
- Modelling of internal flows, taking into account of hydrograms of floods
- Study of external and internal stability, analysis of flows and hydraulic gradients
- Management of specific stresses ( erosion, periodic flooding, rapid draining, internal erosion)
- Initial safety diagnoses
- In-depth technical inspections
- Development of structural dossiers, of written instructions
- Studies of danger
- Studies of the quantification of rupture hazards
- Studies of the definition of consolidation modes
