The subsoil studied with method, explained with clarity.
Geological and geotechnical reports, seismic surveys and hydraulic invariance studies for building projects, public works and land-use planning in Lombardy and throughout Italy.
Informed decisions, starting from the ground
I want to contribute to the safety of structures and to informed design choices based on the characteristics of the ground.
That is why I work with targeted investigations, interpret the data critically and describe uncertainties clearly. The result is geological studies, geophysical surveys and technical reports in support of design.
A single point of contact for the geological side of your project
From planning the investigation programme to delivering the signed report: in-situ tests, geophysical surveys, data processing and drafting of the documents required by regulations.
Geological and geotechnical reports
Geological and geotechnical model of the site, geological report, geotechnical and foundation report in accordance with the Italian Building Code (NTC 2018).
Learn moreSeismic surveys
1D and 2D MASW, HVSR microtremors and seismic refraction tomography (SRT) for subsoil classification, VS,eq and resonance frequency.
Learn moreIn-situ tests
Dynamic penetration tests, permeability tests, trial pits and exploratory excavations, assistance with boreholes.
Learn moreHydraulic invariance
Hydraulic and hydrological invariance studies and certifications for building permits and implementation plans, under the Lombardy Regional Regulation.
Learn moreLocal seismic response and liquefaction
One-dimensional local seismic response analysis and liquefaction potential assessment of saturated sandy soils.
Learn moreLand planning and consulting
Geological component of urban planning instruments, hydraulic compatibility studies, site supervision, expert technical and legal consulting (CTU/CTP) in geological and environmental matters.
Learn moreThree steps, one verifiable method
Framing and site visit
Review of the design documents and of geological and constraint mapping, site visit and definition of the investigation plan.
Surveys and analysis
In-situ tests and geophysical surveys carried out with our own equipment, data processing and independent checking of the results.
Report and filing
Drafting of the report, definition of design parameters and support for filing with the competent authorities (building office, regional seismic desk).
From the Lake Garda area to the whole of Italy, with surveys across Europe
The practice is based in Desenzano del Garda and works mainly in Lombardy — in the provinces of Brescia, Mantua and Verona — but takes on assignments throughout Italy.
Geophysical surveys and in-situ tests, carried out with our own equipment, can also be performed in other European countries, subject to an assessment of feasibility, logistics and the regulatory framework at the place of work.
I regularly collaborate with engineering and architecture firms, construction companies and municipal administrations, joining the design team from the preliminary stages.
