Geological investigations

• Geological Mapping, at any scale, providing mapping of geological formations by using high precision hand GPS. The mapping is usually performed on corrected aerial photos provided by the National Cadastre & Mapping Agency S.A., in order to achieve the highest possible accuracy in mapping (or performed on the exact location plan if available).
• Geological Horizontal and Longitudinal Sections.
• Specific and Additional Thematic Maps such as Information Maps, Neotectonic Maps, Landslide Potential Maps, Water Pollution Vulnerability Maps, Groundwater Table  Maps.
• Geological Adequacy Investigations & Studies in areas of potential urban development.
• Geological Investigations and Studies for Road Works.
• Geological Investigations and Studies for Dams.
• Geological Mapping of Underground Structures and caves or cavities. Full geological and geotechnical classification of tunnel faces and mapping of caverns structures.
• Rock Strength Investigation, Rock Quality Index Determination, Rock Mass Classification. Classification of Rock Mass on natural & artificial fronts, slopes, open excavation pits, tunnel faces, according to International Classification Methods of RMR και GSI.
•  In situ tests for determination on Rock Joint Strength using Schmidt hammer (L type) & roughness coefficient JRC.
• Tectonic Diagrams – Potential Rock Slope Failures. In situ tectonic measurements of rock joints, using geological compass and creation of integrated tectonic diagrams. Analytical calculation of Potential Rockslides (one surface slide, wedge slide, toppling).
• Landslide Mapping, analyzing failure mechanism and measuring landslide movement speed, by monitoring installed geotechnical instruments.
• Inclinometer measumerements on landsliding regions, we calculate Landslide Hazard, rate of Landslide movement, Landslide activeness etc.
• Compilation of Landslide Susceptibility Maps on potential landsliding areas, using integrated GIS techniques.
• Investigation / Evaluation of Quarry Borrow Pits – Spoil Pits. Detailed geological mapping of quarries, determination of geological reserves.
• Detailed geological mapping of quarries, determination of quarry reserves, 3D assessment of quarry reserves spatial distribution, analyzing and processing sampling borehole data, quarry reserves quality assessment.
• Geological Invesigation of Aggregate Borrow Pits.
• Geological Adequacy Investigation for Sanitary Landfills.
• Seismotectonic Investigations.
• Compilation of Tectonic and Neotectonic Maps (Geological mapping of tectonic structures and active faults).
• Geophysical Surveying. We perform all geophysical tests, using state of art complete equipment, providing high level of services.
• Well boreholes – Pumping Tests – Groundwater Sampling (Programming, Monitoring, Processing and Evaluation).
• Hydrogeological Surveying for detection of Groundwater and Surface Water.
• Water Management Researches and Investigations of Water Pollution Sources.
• Hydrogeological & Hydrological Investigations, calculating water cycle, flood runoffs,  water resources, water sediment transports, catchment weathering and erosion potential assessment, hydrological model compilation.
• Borehole Pumping Tests, measuring piezometer water drawdown during pumping & calculating critical water flow and aquifer hydraulic parameters (k, T, S).
• Compilation of Groundwater Vulnerability Maps to surface contaminants.
• Geological Investigations of Coastal Erosion, shoreline and river configuration and erosion protection of littoral areas.
• Compilation of Special Geomorphological Maps and assessment of geomorphological erosion potential applying remote sensing and G.I.S techniques.
• Extended use of Geographical Information Systems (G.I.S.) for Map compilation and spatial distribution assessment of parameters, applying statistical interpolation methods (e.g. kriging).
• Supervision of all sampling boreholes, pumping well boreholes, geothermal boreholes.
• Conduction of all necessary in situ tests on sampling boreholes (undisturbed sampling, SPT, water permeability tests Maag, Lefranc, Lugeon, pressuremeter tests on soils and rock, pocket penetrometer test, Van shear test, Piezocone Penetration tests, complete in situ soil description and classification according to USCS and rock description according to ISRM).
• Geological Mapping of Trenches & – Paleoseismological Trenches.
• Maintaining a complete digital file library of preexisting design case studies, using G.I.S. environment, aiming fast assessment of soil & rock parameters near case studies areas.
• Digitization of Geological and Topographic Maps and generation of 3D Digital Elevation Models for studying areas and statistical analysis of data.
• Petrographic Analysis of Rock Samples.
• X-Ray Crystallographic analysis (XRD), using X-Ray diffraction method.
• X-ray fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF).
