Soil investigations and laboratory testing

Soil investigations and laboratory testing

At Geo Norway, we provide comprehensive support for geotechnical investigations, from planning and coordination to data collection and clear, structured reporting. We tailor laboratory testing programs to suit each project's needs and ensure precise, reliable results.

We also perform infiltration testing to assess soil permeability, essential for stormwater management and designing infiltration solutions.

To complement our ground investigations, we offer drone inspections and mapping, a fast, effective way to document, monitor, and calculate volumes or erosion for construction and earthworks.

Our method is always project-specific. Where feasible, we integrate existing data to improve efficiency and reduce costs, without compromising quality.

Our mission is simple: to deliver the right balance between cost-effective solutions and reliable geotechnical data for safe, accurate design.

We serve clients across Norway.
