Preventive surveys
Non-invasive geophysical surveys supporting archaeologists and heritage authorities.
More than a supplier: a consulting partner.
We don't sell tests and surveys off a catalogue. We work alongside those who design, build and manage infrastructure, providing technology, expertise and qualified personnel to deliver projects that require specialist know-how that is hard to build in-house.
Technology innovation
We introduce sector operators to the most advanced survey, diagnostic and monitoring technologies, supporting their operational adoption.
In-house technology
We own our full instrument fleet: clients who cannot invest in dedicated equipment access ours with no purchase costs.
Field support
We work alongside client teams during survey operations, from data acquisition through post-processing and interpretation.
Personnel training
We transfer skills to technical staff responsible for tests and surveys, through tailored programmes and hands-on coaching.
Consulting areas
Six areas where we provide technology, expertise and technical staff to support our clients from survey design to final data management.
Geophysics
We provide technology and know-how for non-invasive subsurface characterisation.
NDT & Diagnostics
We support designers and contractors in non-destructive testing and built-environment diagnostics.
Monitoring
We design and manage end-to-end structural monitoring systems, from consulting to data interpretation.
High-precision surveying
Topography, GNSS, laser scanning and drone: integrated surveying solutions for every project need.
Archaeological risk
Technical and geophysical consulting in support of heritage authorities, designers and developers.
Training ↗
Technical training and Smart consulting for entering new markets: we train our clients' personnel to make them self-sufficient in instrumentation and data interpretation.
