What we do differently
Useful investigation.
Clear recommendations.
We do not deliver isolated results. We review ground conditions, structure, construction sequence, cost and programme to provide recommendations that can be applied on site.
Services
From ground
to design.
Technical support from investigation through construction.
Foundations
Bearing capacity, settlements and shallow or deep foundation alternatives.
Ask ↗Excavations and retaining systems
Construction sequence, support and protection of nearby structures and utilities.
Ask ↗Soil and rock slopes
Review of possible failure mechanisms and stabilization measures according to risk.
Ask ↗Earthworks and pavements
Subgrades, industrial platforms, ground improvement and quality control.
Ask ↗Groundwater
Seepage, pumping tests and support for dewatering strategies.
Ask ↗2D and 3D modelling
Soil-structure interaction, deformation, flow and staged construction analysis.
Ask ↗Construction support
Inspection and technical response when site conditions require adjusting the plan.
Ask ↗How we work
Field. Laboratory.
Analysis.
Each recommendation is supported by observations, tests or analysis.
Observe and investigate
We plan and supervise explorations to obtain the information that can actually change a decision.
Measure behaviour
Tests are selected and interpreted with a design purpose, not as an automatic checklist.
Turn data into decisions
We integrate geology, calculation, modelling and constructability into clear, defensible recommendations.
Experience
Complex projects.
Practical work.
Urban excavations
Retention, sequence and adjacent-property protection
Earthworks
Slopes and industrial platforms
Infrastructure

Technical experience
One technical criterion
from start to finish.
ANIC brings experience in Mexico and Australia in proposals, investigations, interpretation, design, reports and construction support.
We work with a responsible technical lead and collaborators according to each project's needs. This provides clear responses and continuity between stages.
Knowledge centre
Technical information.
Clear decisions.
Guides to know what to investigate, what to ask and what to review before designing or building.
What should a useful geotechnical study include?
How to turn boreholes and tests into decisions that reduce uncertainty.

Before building,
review the ground.
When is a geotechnical study needed?
Before designing foundations, excavating, assessing slopes or building pavements and platforms. The investigation reduces uncertainty before the construction budget is committed.
Does ANIC work outside Mexico City?
Yes. We support projects in several regions of Mexico and coordinate trusted collaborators according to the location and complexity of the assignment.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Location, type of structure, number of levels, dimensions, project stage and available drawings. This allows us to define a scope that matches the risk.
What does the client receive?
Traceable results, geotechnical interpretation, design parameters and clear construction recommendations, with direct attention from the responsible specialist.
