About Geotron UK

Independent since 2002

Land drilling and vacuum excavation for environmental and geotechnical site investigation and contaminated land remediation, across the UK.

Our story

Over two decades in the ground

Geotron UK Ltd. was founded in 2002 by the collaboration of a UK based team with an environmental consultancy background and Geotron International B.V., an established Dutch drilling contractor operating internationally on environmental and geotechnical drilling programmes since 1989. The result was a UK-based independent company offering a range of technical site services to clients throughout the UK.

Operating initially with a single site crew, the company has grown year on year currently working with a team of up to 30 drilling operatives, groundworkers, managers and support staff. We have continually added to our fleet of rigs, transport trucks and support vehicles ensuring we are always at the forefront of drilling technology.
