The Odéon tower project in Monaco is exceptional, both by its height, 160m, the tallest building in Monaco, and the depth of the excavation required, planned to reach about 70m. TERRASOL was entrusted with geotechnical consultancy on the soil testing, foundations, etc, but also and mostly with the implementation of a 3D finite elements model to analyze notably the influence of excavations on the surrounding buildings.
