About This Opportunity

Translated

This tender calls for the development of geological and geotechnical studies. These studies are fundamental for understanding the subsurface conditions of a specific site or region. Geological studies typically involve analyzing the earth's structure, rock formations, and soil types, while geotechnical studies focus on the engineering properties of soil and rock, including their strength, compressibility, and stability. Such investigations are critical for planning and executing construction projects, infrastructure development, resource exploration, and environmental assessments. The outcome of these studies will provide essential data for design, risk assessment, and decision-making, ensuring the safety and feasibility of proposed developments or interventions.

This is a consulting contract in the architecture and engineering, construction and civil works and water and sanitation sectors, with a focus on Groundwater. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 14,110.
