Who We Are

More than tests, we deliver confidence.

Geoteste was born to bring foundation quality control to the same standard of excellence that the Gontijo Group has practiced for over 60 years (since 1965) in foundations and retaining structures. Today we are one of Brazil's largest structures dedicated exclusively to geotechnical testing.

With cutting-edge technology and a highly qualified team, we turn soil data into reliable information for safe decisions.

Each test performed represents our commitment to quality, ethics, and the safety of every project.
