A Swiss engineering office for complex ground
NESOL, Numerical Engineering Solutions Sàrl, combines geotechnical engineering, multiphysical modelling and laboratory characterisation for demanding subsurface projects.
Most teams either test materials, model them or design with them. NESOL does all three
We define testing programmes and run our own experiments, take those data into coupled models with constitutive laws we implement ourselves, and turn the results into geotechnical design recommendations.
That combination has made us a trusted partner on long-running programmes for nuclear waste disposal, and we apply the same approach to underground works, foundations in complex ground, CO₂ storage and geo-energy.
Principles behind every project
- 1
Physics first
We identify the couplings that govern the response (heat, water, chemistry, deformation) and model them consistently.
- 2
Validated, not assumed
Models are calibrated on laboratory data and checked against field measurements before they inform a decision.
- 3
Traceable and confidential
Automated workflows, stated uncertainty, visible assumptions and full discretion on our clients’ projects.
Trusted across sectors
- Radioactive waste management programmes
- Energy operators: CO₂ storage and geo-energy
- Geotechnical and design consultancies
