Perspectiva recently had the opportunity to interview the engineer Fernando Callejas, general director of Terracón, he shares with us his knowledge about the geotechnical projects and investigations that are carried out in the characterization of soils and the seismic characterization of the sites, as well as the regulations, permits and materials that must be taken into account when starting a construction.

Knowing these needs to carry out safe construction projects to protect life, Terracón seeks to ensure that these constructions have an adequate behavior in the event of an earthquake, complying with the licenses and designs that the Municipality requires of the metropolitan area, which is why It has a great team of professionals in charge of mitigating the risks of a possible catastrophe in the event of any earthquake or undermining of the infrastructure.
“Currently, we have seen that in some countries the materials have failed during an earthquake despite having well-founded structural designs, which is why our commitment is to carry out the necessary studies, use the appropriate materials and comply with all regulations whose primary purpose will be to protect people’s lives,” said Callejas.
