GEOSURVEY: Geophysical surveys for archaeology and civil engineering: G.P.R. (Ground Penetrating Radar) surveys, Geo-Electric surveys, Magnetometric surveys.

Geosurvey

Soon it will be ready a wide documentation on-line about completed works and about the tecniques used.

Currently it has been started an important test stage and many items have been buried in a wide testing field. Results of this research work will be published on this web site.

GENERAL ENGINEERING

General Engineering provides design, survey and diagnostics in the field of cultural heritage sites and new constructions. General Engineering is based in Florence and is also part of ANCHOR GROUP, a wide-ranging company operating in several product sectors. The core of all activities and developments at General Engineering is Galileo Siscam. Since 1925, this company has been gaining helpful experience in the field of computer technology applied to architectural and ground surveys and to data acquisition on particularly important works from an historical-artistic point of view.

General Engineering is an answer to the recent demands for co-ordination and integration among professionals and technicians taking part in special designing activities. Increasingly specialised tasks are indeed calling for organised team work and for close contacts among staff, so as to guarantee consistent choices and results.

During the several stages of surveys and data processing, General Engineering uses exclusively instrumental and computer systems. The procedures adopted guarantee the following: precise diagnostics and measurements; constant control and updating of the designing stage; long-lasting, ready-to-hand and duplicable data for records.
