Company Philosophy

Sotiropoulos  &  Associates  S.A.  is  involved  in  every  link  of  the geotechnical  chain,  to  achieve  the  optimum  result  with  reference  to  the cost, the technical integrity of the project and its successful performance during its life.
To achieve this target, we study the project as  a whole unit considering its progress through design, construction and performance.

Dealing with complex projects and based on our vast experience, we are in   a   position   to   offer   strong   solutions   for   planning   a “directed”geotechnical  site  investigation  and  laboratory  testing  schedule,  in  order to  deal  with  all  considerations  that  may  arise  in  the  phases of  design, construction  and  performance,  while  always  taking  into  account  any environmental restrictions.

In  order  to  design  and  implement  this  plan  our  company  takes  the following steps :

a) Starting from the very beginning of the planning of the project, and forming a conceptual design with respect to the soil conditions and proposing modifications.

b) Planning the site investigation and laboratory testing, including modifications on the basis of acquired information, during the execution of the investigation.

c) Evaluating and proposing solutions for the geothechnical problems of the project and proceeding to further steps of preliminary and final design to have the best results from the point of view of economy and stability.

d) Following the construction to verify the soil conditions and make the necessary changes, if required, by means of the “Observational Method”and instrumentation monitoring.
