The Geosolving staff’s multidisciplinary skills 
allow to provide customers with the best cost-effective solutions in the field of rock mechanics and soil mechanics. Thanks to the long experience gained, particular attention is devoted to the characterization of complex geomaterials, time-dependent rheologies, squeezing, swelling and rock bursting / spalling behaviour. The activities are carried out through both on-site tests and laboratory tests with the collaboration of the Politecnico di Torino.
In the field of geomechanics and geotechnics Geosolving provides the following services:
- Geomechanical surveys;
- Rock masses classification and parameterization (RMR, Q, GSI);
- Design and support for on-site investigation and laboratory tests on soil and rock;
- Interpretation of test results, geological report and geotechnical report for public and private customers;
- Support for the design of reinforcement and consolidation works for slope stabilization;
- Support for the design of tunnels and underground excavations.
Determination of the attention class based on the LLGG gallerie
Application of the method prescribed by the “Guidelines for Risk Classification and Management, Safety Assessment and Monitoring of Existing Tunnels” (LGG) of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to determine the Attention Class of the tunnels belonging to the Aosta Valley Highway Network (RAV).

Investigations, testing, geological and geotechnical characterization
The Department of the Penitentiary Administration has planned the construction of a detention hall with a capacity of n. 120 places at the Asti detention center, in the Quarto Inferiore area. Geosolving srl, in partnership with Sondeco srl, oversaw the drafting of the geological report, the hydraulic compatibility report and the verification of the purification capacity of the existing treatment waterplant, in addition to the data interpretation report for the geotechnical characterization of the site.

Design of the Monte Aglio tunnel in swelling rocks
Design of the preliminary support and final lining of the Monte Aglio railway tunnel in the southern Apennines. Interpretation of laboratory tests (Huder & Amberg oedometric tests, triaxial swelling and creep tests) and study of the swelling behavior of the rock mass using finite difference numerical modeling.

Design of sewage and water distribution networks
Geosolving provided support to LS Ingegneria in the design of new sewage and water distribution networks aimed at rationalizing the water drainage in the Poirino Municipality (Torino). In particular, the project will include the construction of a new discharge conduit and a new lamination basin. Both these works will make it possible to avoid the saturation of the sewage system during intense rainfalls and the consequent flooding of some urbanized areas.At the same time, the replacement of some sections of the aqueduct was planned in order to increase the current quality standards while rationalizing the drinking water distribution network.

Geological, geotechnical and environmental investigations in Turin
Geosolving and Sondeco assisted the Politecnico di Torino in planning and carrying out the geological, geotechnical and environmental in situ investigations for the tender design of new didactic and research structures in the Torino urban area. In detail, the activities were carried out on three different sites: new Learning Center located inside the Politecnico university campus, Pavilion V "Morandi" in the Torino Esposizioni complex, Digital Revolution House (DRH) located close to the Politecnico university campus. The aim of the investigations was to provide a complete picture of the geological, hydrogeological, geotechnical and environmental soil and groundwater conditions of the three different sites.

Dimensional control of a TRAXX DC3 train engine
Geosolving, in collaboration with La Mole 3D carried out laser scanner and laser tracker surveys aimed at the dimensional control of a TRAXX DC3 train engine. The measurements carried out in the Vado Ligure (SV) Bombardier plant in March 2019 have ensured high accuracy and precision according to the client requirements. The dimensional control was carried out by comparing the point cloud obtained from the laser scanner survey to the dimensional project features of the machine. The results of the activities excluded the presence of systematic defects of the train engine (rigid rotations or misalignments of the locomotive body), as well as potential systematic errors in the measure.
