With our history starting in 1960, we have been at the forefront of geotechnical testing, conducting a comprehensive range of tests on soil, rock, and geological materials to provide crucial data for engineering and construction projects.
In 1960, Elias Sotiropoulos, MSc Geotechnical Engineer, laid the foundation for the first geotechnical laboratory, pioneering a new era in soil and rock analysis. Drawing inspiration from engineering insights gathered at various worksites across the globe, he envisioned a facility dedicated to advancing our understanding of material properties. This visionary initiative marked the beginning of a legacy, as the laboratory became a hub for innovative testing methodologies, contributing significantly to the field of geotechnical engineering.
Today, the laboratory stands as a testament to its evolution, operating within owned facilities nestled in the suburbs of Athens, in Spata. This state-of-the-art lab is now under the stewardship of Elias Sotiropoulos, George Kostogiannis and Geotest Consulting Engineers SA, a well-established brand synonymous with excellence in Geotechnical Engineering. The spacious and well-equipped premises not only reflect the laboratory's commitment to cutting-edge research and testing but also highlight its pivotal role as a flagship entity within the broader scope of our distinguished portfolio.
