Geotechnical engineering is one of SC SEMBENELLI CONSULTING s.r.l.'s field and most of the projects and construction in our references contain important geotechnical components.

Consulting Services related to large slides of soil or rock masses are part of our direct experience begun with the Vajont. SC SEMBENELLI CONSULTING s.r.l. has been the Engineer Responsible for Val Rabbia slide study, located in the Alps, extending over 800 m of height in a valley slope and having an overall volume of about 30 000 000 m3.

SC SEMBENELLI CONSULTING s.r.l. has been concerned in foundations on rock and soft ground and has successfully solved and challenged soils bearing capacity problems as in the Brindisi Sud Thermal Power Plant, in Italy, where a large concrete structure had been placed over the silts and peats of a large marsh.

The embankment construction employing clay and granular materials pouring in depth into running waters and the evaluation of the in-situ density of underwater fillings through large, non-standard cone penetration tests are some other works performed by SC SEMBENELLI CONSULTING s.r.l. as single project or services rendered within larger assignments.

SC SEMBENELLI CONSULTING s.r.l. has coped with dewatering of deep excavations and designed open cuts into soft, and/or with a high liquefaction degree as the ones done for the Ertan dam and appurtenant works in China or for the caisson excavations below the ground water layer for a large parking in Milan. Among our assignments we include the high cuts in soils and/or weak rocks. The supports used for these kinds of materials range from nails to anchors to tendons and to retaining structures made of pressure grouted, small diameter piles anchored with high capacity, and poststressed tendons.
