Soil investigations
Amongst the numerous geotechnical investigations and geognostic surveys
carried out over the years by Geotec, importance must be given to the tender
awarded by BBT SE, the Brenner Base Tunnel SE for geotechnical and hydrogeological
investigations in the project area.
The Brenner Base Tunnel, BBT SE is the company designing and planning the
Brenner Base Tunnel which will run between Innsbruck and Fortezza for approximately
55 km and which is part of engineering works being carried out on the
Munich to Verona route.
Deep borheole drilling (Provveditorato OO.PP. year 2011)
During construction works of the Brenner Base Tunnel, Geotec performed
geognostic surveys in the town of Fortezza and more specifically in the residential
area of Mezzaselva, where structural works will need to be carried out for the
River Isarco underpass.
Skilled drillers from the former company SO.RI.GE. S.r.l., are now part of Geotec’s
workforce. This qualified personnel has worked on the most important and
difficult jobs and projects carried out in Italy in the last decade. These include
geological prospecting for the planning and design of the bridge over the strait
of Messina, overhead power lines in Favazzina for Terna S.p.A., the Bologna-
Florence high speed/capacity railway line (Consorzio Cavet), the Milan – Genoa
high speed/capacity railway line (Consorzio Cociv) etc.
This new know-how together with multiple years of experience and a vast
vehicle fleet puts Geotec at the top of the national market.
