What Geomotion Australia does

Geomotion Australia (legal entity: Geomotion (Australia) Pty Ltd, ABN 15 109 816 846) is a privately held specialist provider of geotechnical, structural, and environmental instrumentation and asset monitoring services, founded approximately 2006 and operating across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The company supplies a full instrumentation portfolio — vibrating wire piezometers, inclinometers, tiltmeters, GNSS meters, settlement cells, extensometers, and water-level instruments — alongside wireless data acquisition systems (notably the Loadsensing LS-G6 with up to 15 km range and 10-year battery life) and a proprietary cloud data management platform called Geomotion Cloud. The technology stack also includes the C17-PRO vertical digital inclinometer system, RIPPA 4G IoT and Stalker 4G VW data loggers, Permanent Geo-Resistivity Monitoring (GReTA), and a satellite-based InSAR monitoring service delivered through partner SkyGeo.

Geomotion serves engineering consultants, mining operators, infrastructure contractors, and government asset owners across six primary verticals: mining (including tailings storage facilities), tunnels, dams and reservoirs, earthworks/excavations/landslides, railways, and structures. Named enterprise customers include Rio Tinto, BHP, Glencore, and South32 in mining; AECOM, GHD, SMEC, and WSP in engineering consulting; Laing O'Rourke, CPB Contractors, and Georgiou in construction; and WaterNSW, SEQwater, Melbourne Water, and Sydney Metro in government.

The business generates revenue across five streams: equipment supply (hardware sales), installation and project management services (professional services on a time-and-materials basis), ongoing monitoring services delivered through Geomotion Cloud (managed/recurring), data analysis and reporting, and short-term rental plus calibration services. Distribution is direct and enterprise-led, with Australian offices in Malaga/WA (registered headquarters), Sydney, and Melbourne, and international offices in Singapore and Malaysia supporting Asia-Pacific expansion. The company is ISO certified, counts over 5,000 automated instruments in operation, and references 25+ tailings dam installations across Oceania.
