Experience in large scale port infrastructure
Working in ports, wharves and terminals requires integrating instrumentation, test equipment and logistics over the water. The Port of Santos, the Port of Acu and the Suape Complex represent Geoteste's experience in large scale port infrastructure.
01 / Coast of Sao Paulo state
The largest port in Latin America.
Wharves, terminals and pile foundations in full port operation: the Port of Santos is part of Geoteste's track record in foundation quality control, in an environment that combines continuous operation, intense logistics and the technical demands of a large scale port.
02 / Northern coast of Rio de Janeiro state
The largest private port and industrial complex in Latin America
Terminals, water access points and pile foundations: the Port of Acu represents Geoteste's most important experience in large scale port infrastructure, with proprietary logistics, instrumentation and equipment mobilized over the water at wharves, piers and port defense works.
03 / Aracruz, Espirito Santo
Port terminal in Aracruz
At Portocel, in Aracruz, Geoteste works next to the wharf on quality control of foundations on steel piles, with equipment and instrumentation mobilized in an active port operation environment.
04 / Cabo de Santo Agostinho, Pernambuco
Suape Industrial Port Complex
At Suape, Geoteste adds experience in one of the most dynamic port complexes in northeastern Brazil: piers and terminals built over the sea, where foundation quality control requires proprietary logistics, instrumentation and equipment mobilized over the water.
05 / Coast of Parana state
One of Brazil's leading ports
At Paranagua, Geoteste adds experience in one of Brazil's leading ports: wharves and terminals in full port operation, where foundation quality control requires proprietary logistics, instrumentation and equipment mobilized over the water.
Project records
Operations over the water, floating platforms, impact equipment and instrumentation next to the piles, in ports, bridges and river works across Brazil.
We use state-of-the-art equipment from Pile Dynamics, Inc., manufacturer of the PDA and PIT equipment and of the CAPWAP analysis, for data acquisition in testing. Geoteste is a company certified by Pile Dynamics. We combine this instrumentation with the Hammer System and CAPWAP analysis to connect the pile's field response with the technical evaluation the project needs.

Testing for ports, wharves and terminals
On a port project, every test must answer an engineering question. Geoteste connects field work, signal analysis and the information the project needs to evaluate its piles.
Professionals fluent in English and Spanish, with direct communication with local engineering teams.
Mobilization of proprietary equipment and instrumentation for projects across Latin America.
Field, operations and laboratory teams integrated with technical direction.
Review of pile type, test objectives, access conditions and execution sequence. Coordination of scope with the designer, the contractor and the supervision team.
Recording of force and velocity signals to evaluate the pile response during impact. The driving system and operational layout are defined for each project.
Monitoring of pile driving and re-strike testing when the project program requires it. CAPWAP analysis to interpret the dynamic response and support the load capacity evaluation.
Technical reports with records, interpretation and conclusions, to support engineering decisions. Pile acceptance is carried out according to the criteria established by the project.
Ports, bridges, railways, energy and industry. References that are part of Geoteste's track record in foundation control.

"Geoteste performed 29 dynamic load tests with proprietary remote controlled equipment, plus more than 500 PIT tests, on our project in Hortolandia. It was a large volume of tests and we had an extremely tight schedule. Even so, the team started services on Tuesday and finished everything on Saturday, exceeding even our most optimistic expectations. The reports were very thorough and helped us make strategic decisions for the project. I was very satisfied with the quality of the service, the professionalism of the team and, above all, the speed of response, which was essential at that moment."
