The contract concerns the carrying out of geotechnical missions to be carried out on the territory of the Provence Verte agglomeration community.

The mission is to define the nature, consistency, description and general conditions of execution concerning studies to be carried out by a geotechnical engineer by means of surveys, soundings and tests relating to the subgrade, intended to provide and interpret the data essential for the design of a structure and its construction.

The content is described in the CCTP and the BPUF.

The procedure followed is the Open call for tenders subject to the provisions of Articles R.2124-1, L.2124-2 and R.2161.2 to R.2161-5 of the Public Procurement Code.

Geotechnics studies soil/structure interaction and draws on the basics of geology, soil mechanics, rock mechanics and structures.

In parallel to the soil mechanics of loose materials, rock mechanics deals with rigid materials and cemented geomaterials deal with a category of intermediate materials between soils and rocks.

The main purpose of geotechnical studies is to study the subsurface for the construction of structures (pavilions, buildings, roads, engineering structures, etc.), and in particular the definition of foundations, but also in the context of diagnostics for damaged structures. They also deal with the phenomena of ground movement (sliding, subsidence and others), deformation (settling under loads) and mechanical strength.
