Clays and minerals in natural geomaterials

You are
a design office
a construction industry
a public or private researcher

You want
to evaluate the land constructability potential
to identify and quantify clay-mineral species in the soils and rocks

Our solutions
GISMO provides a solution in your projects on geomaterial analysis, like:

• a diagnostic of land constructability potential,

by the characterisation and quantification of different clay species (< 2 μm) in a soil

• a high detail mineralogical wealth of your agricultural or vineyard soils,

by the characterisation and quantification of different clay-mineral species in your soils

• a reconstruction of the depositional environment of your studied rock or sediment,

by the characterisation and quantification of different clay-mineral species

Two methods are differenciated according to the sample preparation:
– Powder method for minerals
– Oriented clay mount for clays
