Specialized services in Geological Engineering
At Lara Consulting, we offer geological engineering studies to ensure the successful development of various infrastructures in your projects through the evaluation and analysis of terrain; the management and supervision of field investigations, and the assessment of associated geological hazards.
What does the Geological Engineering service include?
Geological engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines principles of geology and engineering to evaluate, design and build different infrastructures, ensuring that they are sustainable and in harmony with their environment. Therefore, geological engineers play an indispensable role in the development of the different infrastructures of any mining or construction project.
At Lara Consulting, we carry out geological engineering studies with evaluations and analysis of the terrain based on the definition of the soil and rock units; its geomorphological featuresand its structural context, direction and supervisionof different geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological and geomechanical investigations; and associated geological hazard assessmentsto support the viability and safety of each infrastructure in operation.
Our team combines technical, practical and advanced technology experience in mapping to identify the characteristics of the terrain and its associated geological hazards; thus achieving and optimizing the design of the different infrastructures. We ensure that each decision is supported by accurate and reliable information, obtained from the different field and laboratory investigations.
Benefits of our Geology services
Detailed evaluation and analysis
Precise identification of terrain characteristics (zoning of soil and rock units, geomorphology, and structural context).
Optimization of design
Technical solutions based on reliable information from field and laboratory investigations.
Reduction of geological risks
Anticipation in recognizing potential geological hazards to ensure sustainability and efficiency.
