An in-depth survey of the land features and characteristics of the terrain where a given project is to be developed and executed will guarantee its very future.  The aim of using a geomorphological approach is to characterise those geological structures which cannot be detected by other research techniques  (such as geotechnical methods, for example). Said structures include, among others:

  • Landslides, unstable slopes
  • Faults, folds, and other tectonic structures
  • Fluvial deposits, flood deposits or terraces
  • Water and wind erosion phenomena
  • Hazardous zones due to unstable geological material such as expansive clay, collapsible structures, or karstic structures
  • Glacial zones, permafrost, or other associated sedimentary structures

Commissioning a geomorphological survey is the first step in the right direction for any project covering a vast area of land, such as a photovoltaic project, a wind power project or an infrastructure project, and enables us to limits the risks and problems which might arise in the medium or long term.

Furthermore, a geomorphological survey also serves as the basis for a geotechnical and hydrological survey, given that it enables us to focus on areas which present a greater level of risk, variability, and homogeneity of the soil.
