Terratek bears over 35 years of geotechnical and structural engineering experience. Our main focus is:

Consulting: We have large experience with geotechnical engineering projects in Brazil and abroad involving tunnelling, dams, slopes, foundations, embankments, excavations and soil stabilization.

Geotechnical Instrumentation: We have instrumented several dams, embankments, excavations, tunnels and foundations. We supply and install instrumentation and analyse the results. We carry out complete projects from the planning stage to the analyses of the structure behaviour.

Dynamic Loading Testing of Structures: We measure structural and foundation vibrations. The purposes are: (1) to assess structural integrity; (2) damage detection and location; (3) aging; and, (4) behaviour under new loadings. Used for bridges, piers, towers, offshore structures, harbour structures, dolphins, machine foundations etc.

In situ tests: We carry out seismic piezocone, vane shear tests, Ménard pressuremeter and Marchetti dilatometer tests, as well geophysical tests.

Software Distribution: Terratek distributes geotechnical software.

Brazilian Local Content Certification: We are accredited certifiers of Brazilian National Oil Agency (Agência Nacional de Petróleo - ANP) and we offer certification for all winners of oil and gas exploration and production bidding rounds.

The company operates in Brazil and overseas with projects carried out in Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
