Not all groundis createdequal.

For 25+ years, contractors, engineers, developers and public agencies across all of Florida have trusted Geo-Tech to explore what lies beneath their project sites.

01  /  The Firm

Every foundation, roadway and slab is only as stable as the ground beneath it. For more than 25 years, Geo-Tech has drilled, sampled, tested and engineered that ground, so builders can make decisions on evidence, not assumption.

How We Work

From first boring to final inspection.

The same disciplined sequence applies to a single homesite and to a regional distribution campus.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    The structure, the site, the schedule and the decisions needed to support your project.

  2. 02

    Field exploration

    Our crews recover samples and subsurface data through borings, soundings and geophysics.

  3. 03

    Laboratory analysis

    Samples are classified and tested in our own accredited laboratory.

  4. 04

    Recommendations and testing

    A detailed report, then testing and inspection through construction.

02  /  Services

Field, lab and engineering under one roof.

Drill crews, an accredited laboratory and engineers under one roof, carrying a site from first exploration to final inspection without outside consultants.

Karst Survey Site Analysis

A karst survey on every project, so limestone and sinkhole risk shape the design before construction.

  • Ground penetrating radar screening
  • Confirmation soil borings
  • Sinkhole potential assessment

03  /  The Difference

The team, accreditations and experience behind every report.

Large projects are won and lost underground. These are the assets and the experience Geo-Tech brings to a site before the first load goes on it.

  1. 01

    Our own drilling fleet

    Track-mounted direct push rigs recover undisturbed samples from the ground surface to termination depth, with Standard Penetration Test and flight auger capability when the profile calls for it.

    Direct push · SPT · Flight auger

  2. 02

    An accredited laboratory, maintained for twenty years

    Accredited by the Construction Materials Engineering Council and the Florida Department of Transportation, with AASHTO R18 accreditation for soil, aggregate, concrete and hot mix asphalt.

    CMEC · FDOT · AASHTO R18

  3. 03

    Two decades of ground penetrating radar

    GPR across Central Florida maps sinkhole potential, depth to clay and bedrock formations, so borings go where they answer the most important questions.

    Sinkhole · Clay · Bedrock

  4. 04

    Forensic depth when something goes wrong

    Evaluation of distressed roadways, buildings and foundations, with remediation design recommendations and follow-up monitoring.

    Assess · Remediate · Monitor

04  /  By the Numbers

A record measured in decades.

“At Geo-Tech, technology meets practicality, and clients find solutions that stand the test of time.”

Based in Ocala and led by Craig Hampy, P.E., Geo-Tech bridges the gap between a high-tech engineering trade and you.
