Geodeco is a consulting company based in Genoa (Italy) that specializes in geotechnical, geo-seismic, geo-environmental and earthquake engineering. The company relies on senior engineers with strong theoretical backgrounds and more than fifteen years of practical experience as consultants and designers in major national and international projects. Geodeco’s commitment is to provide innovative and cost effective engineering solutions in the fields of soil mechanics, soil dynamics, rock mechanics and earthquake engineering for offshore, marine and on shore applications.  Advanced Information Technology is used to solving engineering problems and whenever possible Geodeco applies probabilistic approaches. Accounting for uncertainties in both data and mathematical models allows us to quantify the degree of confidence in the proposed solutions and to explicitly characterize the safety margins. This information is of paramount importance when making decisions to mitigate risk while still adopting cost-effective engineering solutions.
