Who we are?

TERRA GAGE

We are a team of experienced and highly qualified geotechnical engineers, dedicated to providing exceptional consulting services to clients in the construction and development industry. Our goal is to ensure the safety and stability of your project through comprehensive analysis and design solutions.
Our services include:

Site investigation and analysis

  • We have worked on various projects ranging from residential, office and industrial buildings to transportation infrastructure (both air and road transportation).

Quality control for earthworks

  • We were involved in multiple civil and industrial projects consulting or carrying out the works for quality control, such as compaction degree checks, plate load tests and dynamic probing testing (e.g. road construction, railway beds, causeways, dams, levees, dykes, soil stabilization etc.).

Geotechnical engineering design and recommendations

  • We have experience in designing or retrofitting geotechnical works varying from direct and special foundations to water transportation infrastructure or landslide affected areas. We can offer consulting services or turn-key solutions to our clients for efficiently implementing special foundations, based on specialized in situ testing and advanced numerical modeling.

Soil and rock mechanics testing

  • With over 10 years of experience working with laboratory and in situ testing, we have recently decided to start our own geotechnical laboratory, to offer high quality services for both our own projects and external clients

Geotechnical geophysics

  • We are proud to be one of the few teams in the Romania with expertise in the field of applying geophysical measurements to geotechnical works. we have experience performing and processing ERT (electric resistivity tomography), MASW (multichannel analysis of surface waves) and GPR (ground penetrating radar). We have employed and validated the use of ERT and MASW to geotechnical applications and also know the limitations of the methods and what applications they are best suited for.

Earthquake engineering and liquefaction assessment

  • We can perform tests to assess the dynamic properties of soil and liquefaction potential, based on geotechnical borehole testing (down-hole), geophysical testing (MASW) and classic geotechnical testing (CPTu)

We have a wealth of experience working on a variety of projects, including commercial and residential developments, infrastructure projects, and more. Our team is committed to staying up-to-date on the latest techniques and technologies in the field, ensuring that we are always providing the best possible service to our clients.
