Quality, reliability, transparency and innovation: these are the four pillars that provide a sound foundation for our projects.
We aren't happy sitting on our laurels: we strive to develop better, faster, and more efficient tools and techniques.
Health & safety, personnel training, social and environmental awareness... there's more to our work than a simple numbers game.
Resourceful, adaptable and experienced, we work together to develop, apply and interpret solutions that meet your requirements.

Esta semana hemos estado presentes en el stand del Cluster Marítimo Español en el IV Marine Energy Week llevadas a cabo esta semana en Bilbao en el marco de la World Maritime Week. Es gratamente sorprendente ver los grandes esfuerzos que están realizando numerosas empresas privadas, organismos y centros de investigación españoles para potenciar el desarrollo de tecnologías para el aprovechamiento de las energías renovables marinas. Grandes empresas españolas como Acciona Energía, Iberdrola y Navantia entre otras son ya jugadores de...
Here we go...First refraction seismic campaign of the year. And many that are being prepared! Great results in the refraction seismic and MASW campaign for a mining company in Spain. The objective of the seismic refraction and MASW survey is to define the values of the speed (Vp and Vs) at which seismic energy travel through soil and rock. The common application of this technique is to estimate rippability before excavation, mapping depth to groundwater and depth bedrock, identification and mapping of faults, calculation of elastic module, assessment of rock quality, mapping thickness of lands...
Present week we will present the articles "Combination of geophysical and geotechnical studies to obtain a model of land in the southern area of Isla Verde" in the VII National Congress of the ATPYC (www.atpyc2018.com), and "Use of essays CPTu in fluvial soft soils of the Río de la Plata "at the 24th Argentine Congress of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (www.camsig2018.org)....
A new example of the involvement of IGEOTEST with the scientific community. We are proud to cooperate in the FAUCES project, which aims to study the geological risk factors associated with three submarine cannon heads, with our CPT Neptune 5000, aboard the vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa.
