Aquaterra conducts Surveys, Reports and Applications for the Public and the Private Sector on Coastal Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering
Operating since 2007, with Head Offices located in Patras, Greece, Aquaterra was established from scientists with high qualifications, postgraduate studies and professional experience from 15 to 25 years.
The Company’s Administrator Christoforos Kapopoulos holds twenty five (25) years of Professional experience in Greece and abroad. He has a long record of collaboration with Public Authorities, Construction Consortiums, Private Companies etc. He has also been coolaborated with other Scientists in Research Programs (NATO SfS Program 1989-1993, Univesrities Programs). For over than 10 years he collaborated in various research projects with Professor C.L. Goudas, the leader of Soft Shore Protection Methods in Greece and one of the most distinguished Mathematicians worldwide.
Aquaterra is the first Greek Company associated with the use of Soft engineering applications for Erosion control according to the definitions given from European -global Organizations in various codes and reports (European Commision/European Environmental Agency/United Nations).
Aquaterra is also developing in-House Software through the years on Coastal Hydrodynamics & Sediment transport (2D & 3D) for Coastal Protection & Erosion Control Applications.
Aquaterra provides Quality and cost effective Services. Our Methods are well documented and extensively validated for over than 20 years in successful applications in Greece and abroad.
