EXPLORING WAYS TO DO IT BETTER
From site investigation to engineering design and quality control, GeoTerra provides a variety of services for the Construction Industry.
GeoTerra’s Geological Department consists of specialized Geologists – Hydrogeologists, Engineering Geologists, Mineralogists and GIS Experts.
We offer the ability to explore the subsurface structure of the ground using all types of non-destructive, geophysical methods for projects related to: Tunneling, Road construction, Bridges foundations assessment, Landslides, Faults detection, Pollution monitoring and control, Landfills management, Water resources management, Archaeology (Monuments preservation), soils sealing and stabilization.
The purpose of Geotechnical Investigation is to determine the ground stratigraphy and engineering properties of all kinds of soils and rocks at the field.
The proposed Geotechnical Investigation Program should be planned so that the maximum amount of information can be obtained at minimum cost. Selection of the proper investigation campaign is often poorly performed and cannot fulfill the needs of the project, which is to find and avoid all potential geohazards, such as landslides, liquefaction, settlements, loss of bearing resistance etc.
Our experience ensures efficiency and trustworthy exploration in order to minimize geological uncertainties and geotechnical risks.
Geotechnical design consists of three major procedures: the study of soil structure interaction between surface, rock and water conditions and recommended structures, the in-depth investigation of these conditions and finally the design of a fully-functional structure, fulfilling the stability requirements that were set. These processes allow for many different works, such as foundation design, slope stability, landslides, ground improvement, underground works and others.
Modern buildings should provide sustainability credentials and be responsive to the daily raising demands. With in-depth knolegde and engineering skills, our engineers will deliver the optimum design quality for your project.
Transportation engineering and construction projects require experience and effective coordination between the project owner, the engineering team, the Department of Transportation, developers, municipalities, state agencies, and others.
Every member of our Transportation Engineering Division has an extensive background in transportation engineering as well as strong experience in collaborating with everyone involved in these projects.
GeoTerra provides high-quality mining services, ranging from mining engineering and consulting to underground mining and excavations. With over two decades of in-field experience, we make good use of well-known mining methods and techniques to deliver the best results for our customers, developing reliable geological models, based on geological mapping, surface/underground investigations like boreholes, geophysical methods, remote sensing and conventional mapping techniques.
Our trustworthy mining services include: Mineral & Ore deposits exploration, technical studies, mine optimization, mining planning maintenance, rehabilitation and mineral measurements and analysis.
The exact determination of the location, quality and quantity of natural resources as well as the optimization of the mining methods used, are issues that our specialists can handle sufficiently for our clients, providing them with all necessary options and solutions.
Our laboratory is fully equipped to execute a wide range of laboratory and in situ tests for Road and Railway, Energy and Industrial, Mining & Commercial development projects of variable complexity and scale.
It is state-certified and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited in the fields of Geotechnical Engineering Testing (Soil & Rock Mechanics), Construction Materials Testing (Aggregates, Concrete & Mortar, Lime and Natural Stones), and Road & Pavement materials Testing.
In order to ensure the constant quality of its services, it participates annually in proficiency tests for soils, construction materials, bituminous mixtures, and concrete organized by AMRL and EUROCERT.
Geotechnical and structural Monitoring is essential to mitigate risks during the construction and operation of sites. GeoTerra provides reliable solutions from on-site measurements to innovating information database graphical presentation.
Energy is the most critical of our modern society commodities. We are helping energy investors by facilitating the investement process in a safe and sustainable manner, from conception, to design, to construction and full-scale project implementation.
GeoTerra can provide multilingual geoscientists, specialized in various fields related to Construction and Mining Industry.
Modern projects are a nightmare of logistics, budgets, time schedules and endless parties providing services at once. A well-organized Project Management Plan is one of the critical and core components of any project, as it connects all individual activities and processes together to the final delivery and commissioning within the agreed acceptance criteria.

Geophysical exploration refers to the process of studying and measuring the physical properties of the subsurface, using physical methods like electrical, ground-penetrating radars (GPR), seismic and borehole logging. Most geophysical exploration works are conducted in order to detect amassments of oil, gas or other minerals, but some works also aim at studying the ground to help later on with foundation design for railways, motorways, tunnels, dams and other structures.

More specifically, our company offers well-experienced scientific staff available for:
Additionally, junior/senior suitable qualified staff can be seconded for short or medium-term needs or when an external expert is required by the Client via an independent company.
Modern projects are a nightmare of logistics, budgets, time schedules and endless parties providing services all at once. A well-organized Project Management Plan is one of the critical and core components of any project, as it connects all individual activities and processes together to the final delivery and commissioning within the agreed acceptance criteria.
No two projects are the same, so neither are our solutions. We provide construction management services tailored to each project’s size and complexity. We operate with sharp focus on cost, schedule compliance, safety, and risk management. By closely monitoring construction activities, we pin-point weaknesses in constructability, contract packaging, coordination of contractors, temporary work requirements, supply chain capacity or capability and provide the optimum mitigation for each case.
We work alongside our clients to solve complex challenges overcoming change and disruption by providing flexible multidiscipline teams of talented and experienced individuals, managing risks and making investments work harder to improve the beneficial outcome.
Each client’s requirements are unique and depending on the project we explore the opportunities to set more ambitious sustainability targets while appraising the technical, environmental, or commercial issues and integrating each component from a holistic perspective.
From the pre-construction phase to construction to post-construction, we function as an extension of our clients, putting their best interests first and handling every aspect of design and construction delivery by adding value, quality, and safety.
