Geomeasure Group (Pty) Ltd

What Geomeasure Group (Pty) Ltd does

Geomeasure Group (Pty) Ltd is a South African employee-owned environmental and geohydrological consulting firm founded on 1 July 2002 and headquartered in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The firm delivers five integrated service lines — groundwater services, geotechnical services, environmental and waste management services, contamination and remediation services, and GIS services — to government agencies, mining houses, the petro-chemical industry, manufacturers, water boards, landfill operators, developers, financial institutions, private landowners and rural communities across Southern Africa.

Technically, the firm operates an in-house ArcGIS-based GIS department and was the project coordinator for the KwaZulu-Natal Groundwater Resources Information Project (GRIP), giving it stewardship of a provincial groundwater database that is routinely integrated into mapping and aquifer-contour modelling work. Field work combines GPRS-enabled real-time borehole and wellfield monitoring, RISC software for contaminant risk assessment, and multiple drilling and sampling techniques (direct push, percussion, mud rotary, mechanical augering). Geomeasure is ISO 9001:2015 certified, registered as Geohydrological and Environmental Consultants with the Directorate of Geohydrology in the Department of Water & Sanitation and multiple municipal authorities, and is an accredited contractor to major fuel supply and distribution companies in Southern Africa.

The business model is project-based professional consulting: engagements are quoted per scope, contracts typically run multi-year, and work is delivered directly to clients without resellers or channel partners. Geomeasure is employee-owned with B-BBEE Level 2 contributor status (125% procurement recognition, 57% black owned, 16% black women owned) and maintains two offices — Durban (KwaZulu-Natal) and Kempton Park (Gauteng). Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm has no outside funding, parent company, or M&A activity on record.
