Constantine agency, Geotechnics

Following the August 2020 earthquake, a major landslide was triggered in Mila, located in northern Algeria. Our firm undertook comprehensive monitoring of the site, covering a total area of 280 hectares using drones, while also conducting in-depth geotechnical investigations across the entire affected zone.

The main actions carried out included:

  • Digitization of a 280-hectare area using drones.
  • Detailed analysis of the collected geotechnical data.
  • Comprehensive slope stability assessment and continuous monitoring via drones, enabling precise zoning of high-risk areas.

These measures provided a clearer understanding of the destabilization mechanisms and delivered critical data to support risk management decisions and urban planning in the affected region.
