A
close collaboration between AGISCO and the French Laboratoire Central des
Ponts et Chaussées – LCPC – (Research Centre, a subsidiary of the
French Public Work Ministry) developed in 1994 to provide a highly
specialised service in the field of deep foundations (piles, diaphragm
walls, anchoring, tie-rods, etc.) The joint activity between AGISCO and
LCPC, directed by Dr. Bustamante, a world expert in foundation engineering,
aims at offering a highly qualified service for specialised measuring
systems specifically developed for pile load testing. Static pile load tests are by far the most meaningful
method for revealing the behaviour,
ten real terms, of foundations and above all the interaction between pile
and soil. Information
obtained from such tests are of vital importance for revision of the
foundation project as they allow optimisation of structural dimensions
such as diameters, lengths, etc., and pile execution methods can therefore
be altered as potential problems are forecast.
In the last few years
AGISCO has started a close collaboration with the Swiss Project
Engineering and Consulting company "Studio Lombardi" to develop integrated software applications for automatic control of any relevant data and information related to the behaviour
of a dam and its reservoir. This specifically developed software allows
simulation of steering activities on flood control outlet works. In
addition they allow the production of instant reports to meet any of the client’s
requirements. Software
like Eclipse, FloodMan and MIC, are some of the most recent
applications developed. (see Products).
