Engineering, geotechnical surveys and materials
A geotechnical survey is a useful and cost-effective step before starting a construction project. The geotechnician applies his or her knowledge and know-how to ensure the proper realization, optimization and safety of the project to be carried out. Whether for the construction of buildings, bridges, roads, freeways, tunnels, dykes, quays, viaducts, canals, dams, retaining walls, jetties, breakwaters, groins, gabions, riprap, airports, ports, power plants..., the expertise of a geotechnician is essential and beneficial. AGTS provides engineering support throughout your project, from design to completion, to help you better understand the behavior of all types of soil and groundwater.

Material tests

Whether destructive or not, materials testing provides an exhaustive picture of the description of material properties. These tests are therefore a perfect tool for gaining a better understanding of materials, and in turn data that facilitates decision-making on a given project. 

Rely on AGTS to manage the risks associated with materials testing and ensure responsible operations that comply with current regulations.
