It has thus successfully developed technical expertise in both soil surveys and project engineering.

Founded in 1973 by François Barnoud, and today managed by his son Olivier Barnoud, Géotec is a leader in geotechnical engineering in France. Although it has retained an essentially family shareholding, it has opened up over the course of its growth to senior executives and more recently to employees.

Today, it has a turnover of €104 million.

Diversified and complementary core activities

With 900 employees, Géotec has diversified its expertise starting from its historical base activity: geotechnical engineering. It carries out all the geotechnical studies for surveys G1 to G5.

Given the increasing complexity of soil issues, Géotec has developed for more than 20 years a whole range of related services, providing global soil solutions: environment, natural risks, structures, bringing together around fifty engineers specializing in these areas.

It has also developed expertise in maritime and port geotechnics (nearshore and offshore) and deep-penetration surveys.

Aware of the climate challenges, Géotec now has the skills and resources to install geothermal probes at depths of up to 200 m, in particular in Belgium, but also in France.

A qualified and certified group

Whilst customer satisfaction remains a priority, the safety of people and the preservation of the environment are also daily concerns. Thus, Géotec is committed to a Quality Safety Environment approach.

These actions have resulted in the ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications awarded to the quality management departments of all of its 23 agencies and support services.
