Materials Investigations determine the suitability of naturally- occurring soil or rock that could be used as a construction material. The available quantities are calculated from field data gathered from testpits and quality tests are carried out on samples by an approved laboratory. Strip ratios are calculated as a final determinant of a potential borrow-pit. Distance from area of interest and transportation costs to this area are calculated in determining economic viability. Laboratory Testing of field samples includes: Shear Strength, Grain Size Determinations, Atterberg Limits, Moisture Content, Density, Consolidation, Swell Potential, Compaction Tests (Proctor), California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Aggregates, Concrete and Asphalt. Joint Surveys are carried out on exposed rock faces in excavations, road cuttings and underground mines with the Q-system of Barton to determine possible slope or wedge failures of the haningwall. A line survey is carried out along the rockface, using a measuring tape and brunton compass to gather all necessary data which is later input into Stereonet ver 3.01 pc program which then draws stereonets showing areas of wedge failure. Our main area of expertise is in the South African gold mining industry. Exploration of natural resources such as coal, CBM (Coal-Bed-Methane) and petroleum deposits is done by means of borehole drilling and geophysical surveys . Data captured in this way reveals the presence, extent, quantity and quality of the natural resources. Soil/rock surveys are carried out to determine the engineering properties of these materials around the borehole drilling machines as well as along routes of existing or planned oil pipelines or telecommunications cables. The RQD (Rock Quality Designation) is an important parameter reflecting the strength of rock, and is calculated from solid borehole cores during logging. Subsurface probing methods include: Soil Borings (auger, pneumatic, diamond-bit), Piezometers, Groundwater/Gas Monitor Wells, Coal/CBM diamond drilling and Soil/Groundwater Probes. Wellsite geological services are offered on a rotational basis for the drilling of all types of petroleum and natural gas wells all over the world.
Data logging for Airborne Magnetic Surveys was carried out at a remote ground station in Sicily on behalf of GeoSolutions and it's client for the Italian client. The data logger and sensor were set up 50m apart on a quiet part of the coast. Recordings were taken daily over a period of 30 days, ensuring constant communication and coordination with the survey aircraft and main ground station. The latter was situated some 150km away. The photographs below show the instrumentation used. The sensor had to be anchored down firmly to minimize the buffeting effect of the wind which causes erratic data capture. The data logger was sheltered at all times from possible rain.
2) IT Services
Websites for professionals and companies are constructed, published and managed using up to date technologies and tools. Webmasters first consult their clients to determine the needs and the target audience of the client. This is essential for effective web design. Web Promotion is the next logical step. Having a website is pointless unless it can be found by means of an internet search. Our tools automate all the necessary tasks to achieve a top 10 ranking of our client's web pages in all the major search engines. Firstly, the Reporter reports on the current status of a website as determined by the search engines. After this, action can be taken to improve the rankings using the Page Generator which optimizes web pages. The Page Critic will then analyze these generated pages or existing pages to advise us on how to further fine-tune them in order to optimize their content to rank higher on each major search engine. Once the pages are ready, WebPosition uploads them to the website. The Submitter then automatically submits all optimized web pages from the website to all of the major search engines. The Traffic Analyzer reports traffic to each page and what keywords were used to find them. We then go back and re-run the Reporter to monitor our client's progress over time. This process guarantees success. Our client's business requirements and existing computer systems are first analyzed by solution developers and then suitable Solution Architectures are defined. 1-,2-, and n-tier architectures can be implemented depending on the client's needs and future growth prospects. We provide optimized solutions for our clients' computing infrastructure and systems requirements. Distributed and desktop applications are developed by solution developers with Dot net and Java and relational databases (SQL Server/Oracle) are developed for various organizations. Businesses requiring online shopping interfaces and database connectivity for their websites need look no further. We are able to deliver. Our developers are Microsoft Certified Professionals.
3) Translation Services
Scientific/technical material is translated in all combinations of the following languages- English, Italian, Afrikaans, German and Polish . The bulk of our technical translations is requested by private contractors and in the IT sector. Legal/Commercial material is translated in all combinations of the following languages- English, Italian, Afrikaans, German and Polish. The Court of Florence is our major client for legal translations. General translations are done in all combinations of the following languages- English, Italian, Afrikaans, German and Polish. Interpreters are also available for the above-mentioned languages. Our principal area of operation is Tuscany, Italy.
4) Project Management
Projects can be started to life-cycle old hardware or to install new or upgrade existing infrastructure. We use various tools: Project Tools. Projects we mostly manage are for the translation industry and for the development of new desktop and web applications in the software industry. Current projects are tracked here: Project Tracking & Collaboration Space Please Contact Us for individual quotes on above-mentioned services. |
