Le jeudi 20 septembre 2012 GEOTECHNICAL AQUATIC STUDY A WORKSITE OF A DIFFERENT KIND ! Sometimes worksite takes place in an exceptional place. This is what happened in our agency based in Toulouse, in Cahors city, in the Lot department.
The worksite takes place in the foot of the bridge “Valentré”, famous fortified bridge of the 14th century and the drilling are made from the river, on a barge. It looks like a busy program for our team during 2 days: pressuremeter drilling, penetrometer test with dynamic penetrometer, foundation exploration, etc... as part of a geotechnical study for the structures reinforcement of building CABAZAT quay. At lunch time, by the river around a delicious seasonal salad, Eric and his assistant, Julien, enjoy those moments. “I love this job to see stuff like that!” says Eric, “It’s not the first worksite of this kind I do. I am getting experience because it’s not easy to work on water. You have to trust the equipment you have. This is why we have, for a long time, work with the same supplier.” After this break, let’s go back to work to dismantle the barge.

The barge fully dismantled and loaded on the truck, our team finish their worksite. Le mercredi 1 août 2012 GEOTECHNICAL STUDY FOR A WIND FARM IN POLAND
 Bialogard, is a medium-sized city (25 500 citizens) of the Western Pomeranian province, located in the plain of the same name.This is here that the polish subsidiary of ALIOS Engineering, ALIOS Polska, has realized its first wind farm geotechnical studies under the leadership of our Renewable Energies Department. And it is only a beginning, in addition very rising, as we are currently into negotiations with contractor companies for windmill installation in other cities. Study context: 2 windmill construction of Nordex type with a unit power of 3.0MW, in the Bialogard wind farm in the north-east of the city.
