Ground engineering


Since its establishment, Orbis Terrarum has highlighted for its efforts in Ground Engineering, providing geotechnical solutions to any type of engineering projects.

Our experience in the field of geotechnical works is particularly relevant for renewable energies projects (geotechnical studies for photovoltaic plants, wind farms, thermo solar and biomass plants), Oil&Gas, combined cycle power plants, reversible pumping hydroelectric plants

For this purpose, we have a specific branch of technical specialists in the calculation and design of geotechnical solutions.

This department works in collaboration with our sections of engineering, applied geophysics and geotechnical laboratory to always have the maximum information from each specialty, and then integrate all the knowledge from each discipline, archiving the best possible geotechnical solution for your project.

Our services support all phases of a project, from preliminary design through completion of the construction phase, including:


Our services support all phases of a project, from preliminary design through completion of the construction phase, including:


» Technical Advising about the project economical feasibility, from the ground conditions point of view.

» Determination of the geotechnical conditions for soils and rocks.

» Determination of the ground behaviour during and after the construction, trough a data interpretation.”

» Recommendation of static and dynamic design parameters for the soil-structure interaction.”

» Monitoring of ground behaviour during the construction making decisions and new designs adapted to the changes that may be needed.”

Our services include:
