Geosat Srl

What Geosat Srl does

Geosat Srl is an Italian private limited company (srl) founded in 1984 by professionals with multi-decade experience in geotechnical and environmental design. Headquartered in Cernusco sul Naviglio (Milan), the firm provides consulting, design, and construction management services across geotechnical engineering, underground works, seismics, safety, geology, geothermal, applied geology, topography, and environmental disciplines. Core technical capabilities include penetration and plate-load tests, drilling/sondaggi with SPT and vane tests, in-situ permeability and pumping tests, well design and construction with video inspection to 300 m depth and diameters from 86 mm to 1600 mm, geophysical investigations (electrical, seismic, down-hole, cross-hole, electrical tomography, GPR, RE.MI., and M.A.S.W.), piezometer and inclinometer installation, continuous data-logger monitoring, soil and water sampling, and groundwater flow modeling. Operations are ISO 9001:2015 certified across the consulting-to-construction-management scope, and the firm has executed over 1,800 projects to date.

The business operates two delivery layers: traditional single-discipline services and an integrated "GEOSAT SI'" offering that combines multidisciplinary expertise with operational partners, including university professors and sector-publication authors under multi-year contracts, to deliver turnkey project outcomes under GEOSAT's technical direction. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services with quote-based pricing, multi-year construction management engagements, and direct enterprise sales to both public and private clients, with more than 90% of recent orders sourced from recurring customers. Service menus span penetration tests, infiltration and density tests, drilling, monitoring, well and drainage construction, micropiles, geothermal installations (open- and closed-circuit), natural engineering, architectural and topographic surveys, environmental investigation plans under D.L. 152/2006, risk analysis (using ROME, Giuditta, ASTM RBCA), GIS-based excavation material management, and PAI hydrogeological basin planning.

The customer base spans public and private construction and engineering companies (notably Trevi SpA, EURECA Consorzio Stabile–Pontexpo, and Maltauro SpA on Expo 2015 infrastructure), infrastructure developers, commercial and residential property owners (Autogrill, Torri Uffici Milannofiori Assago, residential 305-apartment block in Pioltello), healthcare and historic-building operators (Ospedale Abbiategrasso, Palazzo del Lavoro Torino), and industrial site operators requiring environmental remediation. The firm is Lombardy-centric in geographic scope, with project presence in Milan and the surrounding provinces of Varese, Como, and Novara, and no disclosed international footprint. Marketing is largely reputation-driven, relying on a professional website, project-based visibility (e.g., Expo 2015), and referral networks anchored by the high recurring-customer rate.

Core offering

Geosat Srl provides consulting, design, and construction management services across geotechnical engineering, geoenvironmental, hydrogeological, topographic, and territorial planning disciplines. Core work includes soil and rock investigations (penetration tests, drilling, plate load tests, density tests, geophysical surveys), groundwater studies (piezometers, pumping tests, flow modeling, well design and deep-well video inspection), environmental site characterization and remediation design (sampling, contamination analysis, risk analysis, remediation works), and ground-engineering construction services (micropiles, drainage wells, geothermal systems). The integrated GEOSAT SI' structure delivers these as coordinated multidisciplinary assignments, sometimes on a complete turnkey basis.
