Who we are

More than testing, we deliver trust.

Geoteste was created to bring foundation quality control to the same level of excellence that Grupo Gontijo has practiced for more than 60 years (since 1965) in foundations and retaining structures. We are today one of the largest structures dedicated exclusively to geotechnical testing.

With cutting edge technology and a highly qualified team, we turn soil data into reliable information for safe decisions.

Every test performed represents our commitment to quality, ethics and the safety of every project.
