Specialists at Mannvit provide expert consultation in all aspects of geology and rock mechanics and have applied their expertise to numerous and varied projects at home and abroad.
Soil and bedrock studies are a necessary part of planning communities and structures. Surveys must evaluate the type and thickness of loose strata, types of bedrock, fissures, faults, the position of ground water and numerous other criteria.
Before potable water can be channeled from either wells or boreholes, seepage and capacity assessments for the geologic strata must be conducted. The conductivity and placement of the soil needs to be assessed, and seepage and pumping tests conducted.
Rock mechanics involves evaluating the characteristics and quality of bedrock for various types of structures. Research and tests are conducted on the bedrock to determine its strength, structural stiffness and stability for foundation, rock slopes, rock anchors, rock grouting, etc. Advice on explosive methods is provided, and size distribution in the rock quarry evaluated.
Additionally, Mannvit’s specialists have years of experience in designing, consulting and building tunnels, both for power plants and road construction.
