Driving Innovation in
Geotechnical Engineering
We collaborate with leading academic institutions, government agencies and industry partners to develop innovative solutions that advance geotechnical investigation, testing and automation.
From deep ground investigations to robotics and advanced laboratory testing, our R&D initiatives combine technical expertise, research and practical application to address complex engineering challenges and explore new possibilities in geotechnical engineering.





Driving Innovation in Geotechnical Engineering
Our R&D projects combine research, engineering expertise and technology to develop practical solutions that advance geotechnical investigation, testing and site operations.
Geonamics supported the Energy Market Authority (EMA) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore’s landmark geothermal study as the deep ground investigation contractor.
We designed and constructed two deep investigation boreholes, with the deepest successfully reaching more than 1,400 metres — the deepest known borehole constructed in Singapore and Malaysia.
Catalysed by the National Robotics Programme (NRP) and Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Geonamics’ R&D Department developed the Robotics Integrated Total System (RITS).
The system combines a tracked robotic surveyor with an automated movement monitoring device, significantly reducing manpower requirements and improving efficiency in site operations.
Geonamics continues to explore new approaches to improve the efficiency and accessibility of geotechnical testing through laboratory automation and mobile testing capabilities.
Fully Automated Soil Strength Testing Laboratory
Developing automated laboratory testing capabilities to enhance testing efficiency, consistency and data collection.
Mobile Testing Laboratory
A mobile testing laboratory concept currently under development to bring testing capabilities closer to the field.
Turning Innovation Into Impact
We turn research and emerging technologies into practical solutions for real-world geotechnical challenges, working closely with our partners from concept and development through to field application.
