Environmental geology and soil conservation

The issuing of the Ministerial Decree n° 471/1999, of the subsequent Legislative Decree 152/2006 and Ministerial Decree n° 161/2012, regulating the regulation for the management of "excavated earth and rocks", and any other law such as Ministerial Decree 173/2016 regarding marine sediments, have significantly contributed to the affirmation of the most modern techniques of analysis, monitoring and environmental remediation for the recovery of contaminated sites, or for the management of materials deriving from excavation activities, representing to date one of the main applications of geognostic investigations for environmental purposes.
This action area is associated with the traditional activities of environmental protection, due to the high risks associated with disasters more frequent on our territory (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, floods, landslides, etc.) and/or incorrect planning. Among these activities, geostrutturali and geomechanical surveys, both in underground wall, are adequate for the purposes of the fundamental design of defence works and stabilization of slopes and/or unstable cavity.

Environmental surveys and characterization of contaminated sites, pursuant to Legislative Decree 152/2006 and D.M. 161/2012;
Sampling and analysis of pollutants (land, gas, waste, leachate and surface water and groundwater) in the subsoil and/or groundwater in Brownfields or active, landfills, quarries and contaminated sites;
Airlift operation for the regeneration of piezometers clogged;
Activation and purging of piezometers using electric pumps;
Dynamic sampling of piezometers using electric pumps;
Static sampling piezometers using bailer;
Geotechnical monitoring installations and installations in boreholes (piezometers, inclinometers, settlement gauges, etc.);
Video inspection of boreholes and wells;
Stability testing;
Geostrutturali and geomechanical surveys, surface and underground (Rocky slopes, caves, tunnels and underground environments);
Research, identification and mapping of underground utilities;
Survey of the conservation status of underground utilities and video exploration.
