Solo Firme Engenharia

What Solo Firme Engenharia does

Solo Firme Engenharia de Fundações is a privately held Brazilian geotechnical engineering firm headquartered in Indaiatuba, São Paulo. Founded approximately in 1986, the company has operated for forty years providing foundation and soil-related engineering services to residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure construction projects in the São Paulo region. The current leadership comprises Engineer João Rodrigo de Camargo Oliveira, who anchors technical delivery and inherited the firm's heritage, and administrator Sarah Chenchi, who joined to drive strategic management and modernization.

The company's service portfolio centers on four modules: (i) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) soil investigation and the enhanced SPT-T Torque variant for more precise mechanical characterization of subsoil behavior; (ii) foundation reinforcement using the proprietary Mega pile system, which introduces high-strength concrete segments into the soil via hydraulic jack and uses the existing structure as reaction to transfer loads to more resistant strata; (iii) expert technical reports (laudos periciais) diagnosing structural pathologies such as cracks, settlement, and fissures for use in technical evaluations, legal proceedings, and construction monitoring; and (iv) percolation and infiltration testing aligned to ABNT NBR 17076/2024 for drainage and sanitation design. The Mega pile methodology is positioned around low vibration and minimal interference with existing structures, making it suitable for occupied buildings.

Commercially, Solo Firme operates a sales-led, project-based model with custom quotes delivered through phone, WhatsApp Business, email, and a website form. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and each engagement is tailored to terrain and customer requirements. Lead generation combines direct outreach with a content-marketing blog targeting engineers, architects, builders, and end customers. The company distinguishes itself through in-house manufacturing of soil investigation consumables, a 40-year regional track record encompassing more than 15,000 soil surveys and over 30 buildings served with foundation solutions, and concentrated regional distribution limited to the São Paulo state market. The firm is uncapitalized, with no disclosed investors, no subsidiaries, and a headcount of 1-10 employees.

Products and services

• Soil SPT Investigation (Sondagem de Solo SPT) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) soil investigation service that identifies geotechnical characteristics of terrain to support foundation design and reduce construction risks. Targeted at engineers, architects, construction companies, and property owners requiring soil characterization before construction.
• SPT-T Torque Soil Testing (Sondagem SPT Torque) Complementary torque measurement testing that augments traditional SPT testing by providing additional data on mechanical soil behavior through torque measurement after driving. Enables more precise geotechnical studies for defining appropriate foundations.
• Mega Pile Foundation Reinforcement (Reforço de Fundações com Estacas Mega) Foundation reinforcement solution using high-resistance concrete segments introduced into the soil with hydraulic jack assistance, transferring building loads to deeper, more resistant soil layers. Indicated for buildings with settlement, cracks, or loss of load-bearing capacity. Applied to residential, commercial, industrial buildings and structural recovery projects with low vibration and minimal structural interference.
• Technical Expert Reports (Laudos Periciais) Technical expert reports prepared by qualified professionals to identify causes of construction pathologies such as cracks, settlement, fissures, and structural manifestations. Used for technical evaluations, legal proceedings, negotiations, and construction monitoring.
• Soil Infiltration and Percolation Testing (Teste de Infiltração e Percolação da Água do Solo) Soil water absorption and drainage capacity testing conducted per ABNT NBR 17076/2024 standards. Essential for sewage treatment systems, drainage projects, soakaway pits, and infiltration trenches.
