The ever-increasing land consumption 
and the reclamations of new safe spaces for buildings and infrastructures is generating an increasing demand for underground spaces in large urban areas.
In this topic Geosolving has a documented experience gained through the cutting edge research carried out by the team members at the Politecnico di Torino.
Our Company provides the following services:
- Short and long term tunnels analysis using advanced 2D and 3D numerical methods (FEM and FDM);
