The Magma group carries out all the geotechnical tests in-situ, and in particular the 200kN static penetrometer tests on trucks.
Magma International is one of the few geotechnical groups in Africa to offer and provide its customers with a complete solution integrating in-situ tests and laboratory analysis.
Turnkey solutions
Magma International takes charge of your geotechnical projects whether they are related to civil engineering, mining, infrastructure, energy or hydraulics. In 2017, the Magma group is working on the Nouakchott-Nouadhibou 500 km high voltage power line project. The Magma group was selected for its ability to manage the project within the timeframe set by the client.
Quality geotechnical tests
Thanks to its highly qualified personnel, the Magma Group can intervene on complex sites such as mines in full desert or in tropical zones.
Our equipment is monitored and controlled by accredited organizations that verify their compliance with international standards, whether European or American.
