BRIEF HISTORY
GEOTECHNICS PHILIPPINES, INCORPORATED, was founded and organized on October 04, 1966 and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 18 of the same year. It is composed of a group of professionals, each respected in their own fields of endeavor. It’s preliminary goal was to provide geotechnical consulting services and carry a general contracting business in all
kinds of construction, mining, manufacturing and infrastructure activities. With the purpose of providing technological assistance to the ever-increasing needs of the industrialization of the country, the company has expanded its services in Geotechnical Engineering and it has gained the statue as one of the leading corporations in its field. From a meager capital of Php250,000.00, it is now operating on a capital base of Php20M. ACCREDITATION AND MEMBERSHIP
