Building Engineering
SOCOTEC is an expert company in Building Engineering. We participate in all phases of a high-level project, from conception to completion.
We accompany our clients throughout the life cycle of a project, from conception to construction and maintenance
From conception to construction and maintenance with a view to sustainability, circular economy and zero impact on CO2 emissions
We offer our customers a global service. We are present throughout the life cycle of a project, from the initial stages (technical Due Diligence, feasibility studies, topography, geotechnics, consultancy, quality control and inspections), to the stages of building operation (operational support), through the project, construction and rehabilitation phases, also providing support in the bidding process of the works and in technical audits.
In addition, our expertise in Building Engineering allows us to specialise in technical areas such as health and safety coordination, as well as specialised services such as fluid dynamics (engineering for fire, water or wind), performance studies, CFD and seismic-resistance studies, thermal simulations, studies and determination of consumption, optimisation of materials.
