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.

Innovation in Action

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.

Geothermal Deep Borehole Investigations > 1 KM

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.

Robotics Integrated Total System (RITS)

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.

 

Civil Laboratory & Field Testing

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.
