EXCLUSIVE GEOTESTE TECHNOLOGY

Innovative solutions that redefine industry paradigms

Hammer®

Geoteste patented technology

The future of dynamic load testing has arrived. And it is autonomous.

Equipment developed, manufactured and patented by Geoteste. Remote controlled, it delivers productivity, safety and cost reduction in the field, eliminating cranes, lifting operations and auxiliary structures.

Key advantages

No lifting required

No fall risk

No rigging plan

Remote controlled

Self supporting system

No crane required

High productivity

Maximum safety

Ensaia estacas inclinadas

Tests battered piles

Hammer System, Geoteste patented equipment for PDA testing
Geoteste Differential

Static load test without reaction piles.

Temporary Anchoring System

The Temporary Anchoring System (SAP) uses helical anchors driven into the ground to form the reaction system for the static load test (SLT), eliminating the need for conventional reaction piles, concreting, and curing time. Result: the same test, with lower cost, shorter timeframe, and less site impact.

Temporary Anchoring System (SAP) installation by Geoteste

Schedule reduction

Agility in mobilization and assembly. No concreting and therefore no curing time.

Budget savings

Eliminates costs with tiebacks and reaction piles (drilling, concreting, and reinforcement).

Sustainable

Helical anchors are reused, leaving no waste at the site.

Standardized

Compliant with ABNT NBR 16903 and international standards, including technical reports and ART certification.

What our clients say

NA

Nestor Almeida

"Geoteste performed 29 dynamic loading tests using their own remote-controlled equipment, as well as over 500 PIT tests, at our site in Hortolândia. It was a large volume of tests and we had an extremely tight schedule. Even so, the team started work on Tuesday and finished everything on Saturday, exceeding even our most optimistic expectations. The reports were very comprehensive and helped us make strategic decisions for the project. I was very satisfied with the service quality, the team's professionalism, and especially the agility in service, which was fundamental at that time."

LM

Lucas Magalhães

"We had a great experience with Geoteste. The helical reaction system used in the static load tests greatly accelerated the work and significantly reduced construction costs."

HO

Hebert Oliveira

"From the bidding phase, we noticed that Geoteste had a distinct planning standard. The commercial proposal was accompanied by a schedule and a descriptive memorandum of execution procedures. After hiring, we saw this same care in the field, with daily planning meetings and strict adherence to the schedule. We learned a lot from the team and hope to count on Geoteste for many more projects. Congratulations on the work!"
