About us
We believe that earth can be understood better.
What exactly lies beneath our feet is often unclear. Only by combining existing knowledge with innovative methods, or by developing new methods, we can truly understand earth. Both as our home planet and as the ground that supports us.
Our experts establish a new benchmark in soil information through the development and application of cutting-edge techniques. Drawing upon our expertise in geology, soil science, and sensor technology, we advise on how to efficiently and comprehensively map the subsurface.
We provide detailed soil information across various sectors, with a focus on climate adaptation where soil information enhances water management and landscape design. With our geophysical approach, we provide comprehensive soil maps, offering more information, deeper insights, and reduced risks.
Our experts understand how data can be interpreted and utilized, but also recognize when the knowledge of an end user is necessary. Therefore, we prefer collaborative analysis involving both our team and the end user. We believe that our complementary areas of expertise lead to exceptional outcomes.
