Core offering

Solotecnica provides integrated geotechnical engineering services for construction and infrastructure projects, spanning soil investigation drilling (percussion, rotary, mixed, auger), in-situ and laboratory soil testing, load testing on piles, execution of in-situ injected root piles and anchored retaining walls, settlement and groundwater monitoring, and supporting studies for sanitary landfills and hydrogeological assessments. Its work is delivered to enterprise and government clients on a project-based basis, often deployed as a specialized subcontractor at port, refinery, factory, and civil construction sites across Brazil and South America.

Product overview

SOLOTÉCNICA is a Brazilian geotechnical engineering company founded in 1950 offering a comprehensive portfolio of geotechnical services. The core service offering includes soil investigation services (sondagens) such as percussion, rotary, mixed, and auger drilling, alongside foundation solutions like injected piles (estacas raiz) for structural foundations and anchored walls (cortinas atirantadas) for slope containment. The company provides field and laboratory soil testing, load testing, settlement measurements, horizontal drainage systems, groundwater monitoring wells, and hydrogeological assessments. The portfolio is unified under geotechnical engineering services rather than a modular software platform, serving primarily the construction and infrastructure sectors in Brazil and South America.

Products and services

• Sondagens a Percussão, Rotativas, Mistas, Trado e Poços (Percussion, Rotary, Mixed, Auger and Well Drilling) Soil investigation and characterization service using percussion, rotary, mixed, auger, and well drilling to determine subsurface profile and identify the most appropriate foundation type for construction projects, targeted at construction and infrastructure clients in Brazil and South America.
• Estacas Injetadas para Fundações de Estruturas, Contenções e Reforços (Injected Root Piles) Execution of small-diameter in-situ cast concrete piles (100mm to 410mm) with high load capacity based on lateral friction resistance, used for structural foundations, slope containment, and structural reinforcements for construction and infrastructure projects.
• Cortinas Atirantadas e Contenções de Encostas (Anchored Retaining Walls and Slope Containment) Slope retention service using thin concrete walls combined with steel tie rods anchored in soil or rock beyond the predicted failure surface, designed to stabilize slopes and provide earth retention for construction on challenging terrain.
• Prova de Carga em Estacas e sobre o Terreno (Static Load Testing) Static load testing service that applies incremental static loads to piles or ground and records corresponding displacements under axial tension, compression, or transverse forces, used to confirm design capacity of foundations.
• Ensaios de Solo no Campo e em Laboratório (Field and Laboratory Soil Testing) Geotechnical laboratory and field testing service covering compaction, CBR determination, liquidity and plasticity limits, granulometry, permeability, shear tests, consolidation, and compression tests on disturbed, undisturbed, and Shelby samples, used to characterize soils for foundation and earthwork design.
• Medições de Recalques em Estruturas e Aterros (Settlement Measurements for Structures and Embankments) Settlement monitoring service that installs fixed benchmark pins on structural elements and records readings at roughly three-month intervals during construction to track displacement of buildings and embankments.
• Drenos Sub-Horizontais (Horizontal Drains) Horizontal drainage service using drains installed through drilled soil or rock to remove water from slopes or difficult-to-access locations for earth and slope stabilization projects.
• Piezômetros e Poços de Monitoramento (Piezometers and Monitoring Wells) Installation of groundwater monitoring wells with PVC pipes, compliant with NBR 13895, to measure water table depth at any project stage and support environmental pollution verification.
• Estudos e Projetos para Aterros Sanitários (Sanitary Landfill Studies and Design) Sanitary landfill site selection and design support combining percussion and auger drilling, laboratory testing, and permeability testing to identify and qualify areas for solid waste disposal.
• Laudo Hidrogeológico (Hydrogeological Assessment) Hydrogeological assessment service that identifies natural springs, evaluates water presence in terrain, and determines compliance with CONAMA 303/2002 resolution for land development and environmental due diligence.
• Fiscalização e Controle de Qualidade de Terraplanagem (Earthwork Supervision and Quality Control) Earthwork quality supervision and compaction control service performed by specialized soil engineers and laboratory technicians using mobile field laboratories to ensure quality during construction earthworks.

Broad incumbents

• Intertek Brasil: International testing and inspection group with Brazilian offices providing construction materials testing and quality assurance services, competing for the same large-project QA mandates.
• SGS Brasil: Global TIC company with Brazilian operations offering construction materials testing, soil and aggregate testing, and site investigation services — a broader incumbent that competes for the same enterprise testing and inspection mandates.
• Bureau Veritas Brasil: Global testing, inspection, and certification firm operating in Brazil across construction materials testing, geotechnical services, and industrial asset integrity — broader scope than Solotecnica but overlapping in soil and construction materials testing.

Direct peers

• Concremat Engenharia e Tecnologia: Brazilian engineering consultancy offering geotechnical investigation, foundation design, and construction quality control for industrial, infrastructure, and energy projects — directly competing with Solotecnica across the full geotechnical value chain.
• Geoforma Engenharia Ltda: Brazilian geotechnical engineering firm specializing in soil investigation, foundation engineering, and slope stabilization for infrastructure and industrial projects in Brazil.
• Falcão Bauer | Centro Tecnológico de Controle de Qualidade: Brazilian technology center providing materials and geotechnical testing, quality control, and field/laboratory services for construction and infrastructure projects — closely matching Solotecnica's testing, quality control, and earthwork monitoring offering.
• Stucchi Engenharia de Fundações: Brazilian foundation engineering firm focused on pile foundations, retaining structures, and geotechnical solutions for industrial and commercial construction.

Emerging players

• Huesker Brasil: Brazilian subsidiary of a global geotechnical engineering products company supplying geosynthetics, soil reinforcement, and foundation systems — adjacent competitor for Solotecnica's slope stabilization and reinforcement projects.
• Maccaferri do Brasil: Brazilian arm of a global geotechnical solutions provider offering soil reinforcement, retaining structures, and slope stabilization systems — comparable in the anchored walls / slope containment segment where Solotecnica also operates.

Regional players

• Locus Engenharia: Brazilian engineering consultancy offering geotechnical and environmental services for infrastructure projects, including foundation and contamination assessments — comparable offering with a primarily domestic footprint.
