About us

With over 400 geotechnical studies carried out each year, and a qualified staff of two hundred, AGTS has made its mark in its field in Africa. From the countries where it is based, AGTS covers some eighteen African countries.

From housing construction to wind turbines, railway lines, airports and factories, we work in 3 phases:

• Soil survey
• Laboratory analysis of materials
• Analysis and recommendations

These geotechnical studies are supplemented by soil pollution studies.

 

AGTS also offers specialised tests and measurements:

• Geotechnical and geophysical soundings and tests
• Geotechnical and materials engineering
• Materials testing in specialised laboratories: soil mechanics, concrete technology, road technology, soil and materials chemistry, etc.
• Auscultation - Measurements - Instrumentation (A.M.I)
  
  

Quality is at the heart of every AGTS approach, and it is with this in mind that the company has achieved : 

• ISO 9001 : 2015  
• ISO 14001 : 2015
• ISO 45001 : 2018
• MASE

Our commitment to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), backed by know-how and absolute rigor, explains and justifies our many awards.

Presenting builders with the framework in which they are going to carry out their developments (project environment, subsoil geology, groundwater, etc.) as well as practical, viable and cost-effective technical solutions so that the planned development can be carried out safely and at the lowest possible cost.

 

Using state-of-the-art equipment and several geotechnics laboratories, AGTS is able to assess the homogeneity or heterogeneity of subsoils, determine the geo-mechanical characteristics of the formations making up the subsoil, and establish the presence of groundwater circulation.

 

Modelling the behaviour of future developments and recommending technical solutions to enable specific adaptations to be made are real added values in geotechnical engineering.

In recent years, a number of factors have converged to make geotechnical studies and soil analysis more essential than ever to the success of your construction projects.

Technological advances in engineering and drilling methods, combined with regulatory and environmental developments, are increasing the complexity of work and feasibility studies. These challenges call for cutting-edge expertise in soil mechanics, geophysics and geotechnical investigations.

AGTS, a specialist design office, puts its skills in geotechnical engineering and its analysis laboratories at your service to carry out soil studies, optimise foundations, anticipate natural risks and propose solutions tailored to the needs of project owners and civil engineering professionals.

Thanks to a comprehensive approach that includes BIM, works supervision, earthworks, underpinning and drainage, we can support your projects from the preliminary design stage right through to hydrogeological investigations.
