Mineral exploration drilling

Mining survey

The aim of mineral exploration is to discover new deposits or unknown extensions of deposits. A deposit is a concentration of one or more useful substances that can be exploited.

The various stages of mineral exploration are: a review of existing information or documentary and historical analysis, reconnaissance exploration, detailed exploration, exploration evaluation and drilling campaign.

For these different stages, AGTS can assist you with various exploration techniques, including geological mapping, geochemical analysis, geophysical methods and drilling (core drilling, RC, etc.).

Engineering, geotechnical surveys and materials
A geotechnical survey is a useful and cost-effective step before starting a construction project. The geotechnician applies his or her knowledge and know-how to ensure the proper realization, optimization and safety of the project to be carried out. Whether for the construction of buildings, bridges, roads, freeways, tunnels, dykes, quays, viaducts, canals, dams, retaining walls, jetties, breakwaters, groins, gabions, riprap, airports, ports, power plants..., the expertise of a geotechnician is essential and beneficial. AGTS provides engineering support throughout your project, from design to completion, to help you better understand the behavior of all types of soil and groundwater.

Material tests

Whether destructive or not, materials testing provides an exhaustive picture of the description of material properties. These tests are therefore a perfect tool for gaining a better understanding of materials, and in turn data that facilitates decision-making on a given project. 

Rely on AGTS to manage the risks associated with materials testing and ensure responsible operations that comply with current regulations.
