About us<br />

<strong>Geotec</strong> S.p.A. , known as TPS in 1974, has been working for approximately 20<br />

years primarily in the geophysical industry. Since it was founded in 1986, <strong>Geotec</strong><br />

S.p.A. has been providing surveying and drilling services to important authorities<br />

and geophysical Companies, such as the National Research Council, the Ministry<br />

of Education, ENI, Western Geophysical, CGG (Compagnie Generale de Geophysique),<br />

Prakla-SCHLUMBERGER and OGS (Osservatorio Geofisico Sperimentale) the<br />

Experimental Geophysical Observatory of Trieste. In 1996, <strong>Geotec</strong> S.p.A. took<br />

over Discovery Geophysical Services S.p.A., a company founded in 1991 by the<br />

Experimental Geophysical Observatory of Trieste.<br />

It is from this moment on that these two companies, together with Simec Srl, a<br />

mechanical engineering workshop also part of the group, reinforce their operational<br />

status on the market, providing a wide range of services in a variety of<br />

geographical, social and cultural contexts not just on national territory but also<br />

abroad. The group can offer geophysical services through the use of complex 2D<br />

and 3D methods for geological knowledge of the subsurface, for mineral exploration,<br />

and for engineering purposes.<br />

The past ten years have seen <strong>Geotec</strong> S.p.A. grow and develop continuously and<br />

extend its field of activity into other important sectors such as civil engineering.<br />

<strong>Geotec</strong> S.p.A. is able to provide solutions regarding geognostic and geotechnical<br />

investigations, the characterization of contaminated sites, seismic risk<br />

assessment and 3D laser scanning.<br />

In December 2005 a merger took place and Discovery Geophysical Services was<br />

acquired by <strong>Geotec</strong> S.p.A.. In 2012, <strong>Geotec</strong> S.p.A. tookover SO.RI.GE, a long<br />

standing company based in Parma specialized in deep slim hole drilling. With<br />

SO.RI.GE’s know-how and <strong>Geotec</strong>’s recent investments, the two companies are<br />

capable of offering professionalism, expertise and experience in geognostic<br />

drilling using the wire-line method up to a depth of 1200m.<br />
