Neogeo Geotecnologia

What Neogeo Geotecnologia does

Neogeo Geotecnologia LTDA is a privately held Brazilian applied-geophysics services company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The company delivers non-invasive, non-destructive subsurface investigations for mining operators, geotechnical engineering firms, environmental consultants, and civil construction clients, spanning planning, field data acquisition, processing, interpretation, and numerical modeling. Its service portfolio covers electrical methods (electroresistivity, induced polarization, spontaneous potential), seismic methods (refraction, MASW, MAM, microseismic), GPR, magnetometry, bathymetry, geophysical logging, aerial and UAV-based surveys, and continuous geotechnical monitoring.

The company has built two proprietary technology assets in-house through its R&D function: GEOTRACK, a microseismic monitoring system that records and processes multichannel seismic signals in real time for geotechnical structures such as tailings dams, and NEOLINE (version 2024.0.1), software for automated extraction of structural lineaments from Digital Elevation Models. To date Neogeo has executed more than 350 projects across Brazil, acquired over 9,950 kilometers of geophysical data, and monitored more than 70 dams, with a stated presence across Latin America.

Commercially, Neogeo operates a consultative, project-based B2B sales motion with three revenue streams: professional services for geophysical surveys, managed services for recurring microseismic dam monitoring via GEOTRACK, and software licensing for NEOLINE. Customers are unnamed enterprise accounts reached through direct outreach, LinkedIn, industry workshops, and contact-form-driven quotations. The company has no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or institutional funding, and is founder-led by Fábio Miranda (Technical Director) and Juliano Matos (Commercial Director).
