Piteau Associates’ main asset is the knowledge and experience of its engineers, scientists, and technologists. We use proven field investigation techniques; industry standard laboratory testing protocols; and advanced analysis, modeling, and design methods. Piteau maintains a comprehensive suite of modern field equipment and instrumentation, and commercial and in-house software including:
For Geotechnical/Rock Mechanics applications:
- Photogrammetric equipment and software (ADAM Technology) for mapping of rock exposures using stereophotos
- Commercial and in-house software for geologic structural and kinematic analyses (DIPS, KINSTABL, SWEDGE, UNWEDGE, etc.)
- 2D and 3D slope stability analysis software (SLIDE, CLARA, etc.)
- Various numerical analysis codes for stress and deformation analysis (UDEC, FLAC, PHASE2, etc.)
- Commercial and in-house software for deformation monitoring of inclinometers, extensometers and prisms
- Commercial software (WELLCAD) for analysis of structural orientation data obtained using borehole televiewer equipment
For Hydrogeology and Contaminated Sites Projects:
- A fleet of modern field equipment including: dataloggers, field water chemistry meters and flow-through cells, bailers, inflatable borehole packers, organic vapour analyzers, drive-point samplers, along with various control units and ancillary equipment for soil vapour monitoring
- Software for analysis and display of aquifer test results
- Software for analysis of water quality data, plotting, reporting, and geochemical modelling
- 2D and 3D finite-element and finite-difference numerical groundwater flow simulation models (MODFLOW, FEFLOW, etc.)
