What Terrasond GmbH & Co.KG 110 Mitarbeiter does

Terrasond GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German specialized drilling and ground investigation services company headquartered in Günzburg-Deffingen, Bavaria. Founded in 1969 by Fritz Laudahn, the company has grown to approximately 120 employees operating through seven regional offices across Germany (Freiburg, Stuttgart, Rhein-Main, Sachsen-Anhalt, Bremen, Hesel, and the Bavarian headquarters). It generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services contracts for drilling and ground investigation, with no publicly disclosed pricing or subscription model.

The company's core offering is organized around five integrated service lines: Aufschlussbohrungen (exploratory drillings for construction soil investigation), Brunnenbohrungen (well drilling for water utilities, breweries, mineral water producers, and industrial water supply), Sondierungen (soundings and dynamic penetrometer tests), Bohrlochversuche (borehole tests for mechanical and hydraulic soil properties), and Spezielle Bohrungen (specialized drilling including underwater, directional, contaminated-site, and indoor applications). Service delivery is backed by an equipment fleet of approximately 200 vehicles and over 40 drilling rigs ranging from 1.5-ton compact electro-hydraulic units for confined-space emission-free operation up to 38-ton hook-load well drilling rigs capable of 800m deep exploration drillings. An in-house workshop enables custom fabrication of drilling tools and proprietary equipment, including crawler rigs with folding chassis for steep-terrain deployment.

Terrasond's go-to-market is enterprise field sales, targeting construction companies, engineering consultancies, municipalities, public water utilities, breweries, mineral water producers, and industrial clients with their own water supply. The company differentiates on German industry certifications (DVGW W 120, ISO 9001, AMS BAU, DIN EN ISO 22475-1) that are effectively prerequisites for public-sector and regulated infrastructure bids. While the bulk of activity is domestic, the company has documented project execution in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Mexico, and other EU states. The Kampfmittelräumung (explosive ordnance disposal) vertical was spun off in 2011 as a separate wholly owned subsidiary, and the website now references a 'Terrasond Holding' structure grouping the operating entities.

Core offering

Terrasond provides professional drilling and ground investigation services for construction, water supply, and industrial projects. Its core offerings span five integrated service lines: exploratory drillings, well drillings, soundings, borehole tests, and specialized drilling for challenging environments. The company operates an extensive fleet of approximately 200 vehicles including over 40 drilling rigs ranging from 1.5t compact equipment to 38t hook-load well drilling rigs, backed by an in-house workshop for custom equipment fabrication.

Product overview

TERRASOND is a geological drilling and ground investigation service company offering a unified portfolio of drilling services and equipment. The core offering consists of five integrated service lines: Aufschlussbohrungen (exploratory drillings) and Sondierungen (soundings) for soil and rock investigation, Brunnenbohrungen (well drillings) for groundwater extraction and well construction, Bohrlochversuche (borehole tests) for mechanical and hydraulic property analysis, and Spezielle Bohrungen (special drilling) for challenging environments. Supporting this service portfolio is an extensive equipment fleet including Brunnenbohrgeräte (well drilling rigs with 30-38t hook load), Aufschlussbohrgeräte (exploratory drilling rigs in 10-15t class), Kleinbohrgeräte (compact drilling equipment 3-4.5t for confined spaces), and an in-house workshop for equipment maintenance and custom tool fabrication. The company operates approximately 200 vehicles and 40+ drilling rigs, providing services across Germany from headquarters in Günzburg and multiple branch offices.
