Geophysical surveys
September 26, 2019Geophysical surveys include the implementation of geophysical methods to indirectly determine the geological and structural as well as the physical and mechanical characteristics of the foundation soil. These methods are used to determine the layout, thickness and properties of individual layers below the terrain surface, on which the construction of a specific structure is planned. […]

Rock slope remediation on county road ŽC5031, section Čabar-Mandli (6 locations)
September 12, 2019Rock slope remediation on county road ŽC5031, section Čabar-Mandli (6 locations) is currently underway. We have carried out engineering geological and geotechnical prospecting and made the main and the detailed rock slope protection design. The ŽC5031 section in question extends from the town of Čabar in the north to the village of Mandli in the […]

Types of shallow foundations
Types of shallow foundations
July 25, 2019Shallow foundation Foundation depth usually involves depth, measured from the terrain surface, to the base surface through which the foundation transfers the structure load to the soil. According to Eurocode, shallow foundations are considered to be bases whose width is greater than the depth of foundation (D <B). Shallow foundation is applied in cases where […]
Offshore exploratory drilling
Offshore exploratory drilling
July 17, 2019Exploration for construction of marine structures Offshore exploratory drilling includes a combination of drilling, sampling, in situ testing, as well as laboratory tests on soil and rock samples. Marine structures belong to a group of extremely complex construction projects. It is very important to be familiar with underwater geological conditions in order to predict all […]
Speleological objects in flysch
Speleological objects in flysch
July 11, 2019Speleological objects are natural underground cavities whose dimensions are such that a man can enter them in order to be able to directly observe, map and explore them. The scientific discipline that studies speleological objects is called speleology (Bočić, 2009). Speleological objects are divided into caves and pits. The formation of speleological objects (speleogenesis) takes […]
