Our Story

GEO is a privately held company founded in Lisbon, Portugal in 2004, specialized in the geotechnical and waste and water treatment industry, maintaining clients in more than 50 countries.

In the geotechnical industry it develops products, supplies and participates in the installation of foundations by giving engineering support in the application of the support fluids with dedicated staff for the entire construction project. Since 2004 GEO has participated across the globe in relevant and iconic projects of large proportions in the construction industry.  

Since 2017, GEO extended its business to the installation of micropiling, and load testing using the Bidirectional load testing (BDLT) method by joining a partnership with ARCOS from Brazil and to whom is given the invention of the BDLT back in the eighties.

With a growing presence in processing water-soluble environment and polyacrylamide, GEO develops a range of products that help preserve the environment and improve the processes in the industries. These products are used in all markets where water is a concern being it for the water production, wastewater treatment or sludge dewatering.

GEO dedicates effort and supports its strategy with innovation and investment, committing a significant part of its resources and income into R&D along with continual investment in improving and expanding new areas of business.
