The ground has a story.
We’ve read it since 1985.

Soil investigation, material testing laboratories and specialized geotechnical contracting — more than 5,000 projects across Egypt, from Alexandria’s towers to the Western Desert gas fields.

70 mBorehole depth
-14.00 M — STRUCTURE What we do

Two divisions, one standard.

From the 1985 consulting office grew a second arm in 2013: contracting. Investigation and testing read the ground; contracting acts on it. Both run to the same discipline — and we execute our own work.

Consulting & Testing · Est. 1985

Investigation & laboratories

Soil and groundwater investigation, geotechnical reports to the Egyptian Code, foundation design review, and full soil, concrete, asphalt and chemical laboratories.

  • Borehole drilling to 70 m · 10 rotary rigs
  • Pile load tests to 500 t · in-situ testing
  • 150 laboratory tests per day
Geotechnical Contracting · Est. 2013

Groundwater, excavation & ground improvement

Fixed-price, standardized geotechnical works — executed by our own crews at roughly 20% below market cost.

  • Deep-well & well-point dewatering to 40–50 m
  • Open-cut excavation support to 11 m
  • Geogrid & geotextile ground reinforcement

-30.00 M — WATER TABLE How we work

“A geotechnical report is only as good as the ground it actually read.”

Every recommendation follows the same path — understand the site, sample it, test it in our own laboratories, and recommend. All investigation and analysis to the Egyptian Code of Practice. No commissions, no marketing fees; we execute our own work.

-36.00 M — ARCHIVE The project map

5,000 projects. One map.

Alexandria Petroleum, Khalda, Petrojet, the Burullus compression plants, North Coast resorts, Alexandria’s high-rises — every project we log appears on the interactive map.

-42.00 M — BEDROCK Our commitment — unchanged since 1985

We execute our own work.

We do not broker or subcontract our core scope without your full knowledge and consent. We work with a small, trusted network of suppliers. We charge no commissions and no marketing fees — market quality, at a better price.
