We provide a comprehensive diagnosis of your ground conditions so that you obtain the baseline knowledge your project needs. The quality of a geotechnical study gives you greater capacity to optimize ground-bearing performance, enabling the design of structures that can lead to significant savings in steel, concrete, earthworks and execution time.
The reliability of geotechnical analysis lies in the quality of the modelling. We use cutting-edge engineering software to accurately simulate the conditions of your project, and we work with leading tools such as CAD, SLIDE and SETTLE to reduce risks and optimize your investment.
The timeframe of a study varies depending on the workload involved (number of boreholes, depth, laboratory testing, etc.) and the location where the works are carried out. Beyond these variables, Geoplanning has an extensive fleet of its own machinery and in-house laboratories, ensuring a rapid response. As for cost, it varies depending on the scope. In any case, the scale of our structure allows us to offer highly competitive prices.

Sonic drilling is a method that uses high-frequency vibrations to penetrate the subsoil. Unlike traditional methods, this technology guarantees 100% core recovery with a minimal degree of disturbance, providing complete and reliable data for comprehensive analysis.
It is the only technology that guarantees 100% recovery of cores in granular soils with minimal disturbance. It allows work to be carried out even in complex ground conditions where other techniques would struggle, achieving a significant increase in productivity and shortening execution times. Drilling is carried out without water, which prevents the dispersion of soluble contaminants. In addition, it guarantees verticality with less than 1º deviation, ensuring that the core accurately reflects the ground conditions.
Our drilling system combines rotation and thrust with high-frequency vibration that liquefies the ground, facilitating extraction. We have rigs with dual heads, sonic and conventional, which allows us to drill both lose ground and compact rock without the need to change equipment.
Depending on the type of ground, our rigs can reach depths of up to 50–60 meters.

We carry out the required extractions using the appropriate technique to provide you with the most reliable data, guaranteeing sample quality for the next stage of the process. Precise drilling is the key to obtaining data that accurately reflect the reality of the ground and form the basis of your project’s final report.
We have an extensive fleet of machinery with three drilling systems: conventional, wire-line and sonic. This allows us to handle all types of ground conditions, including the most complex ones that other companies have not been able to execute. Our equipment is fitted with GPS to monitor its location and the status of the works at all times. In addition, we work with the best materials and have our own workshop for continuous maintenance.
A sound understanding of the ground and the elimination of uncertainty make it possible to tackle the execution phases of your works safely. We prevent deviations and subsoil-related problems that other companies have not been able to solve.
You will receive reports including the lithological-geotechnical profile of the ground, the presence of water and the key drilling data.
