The Company
The foundation for GEOTEKNIK Engineering Research and Consulting and Contracting Inc. was laid in 1975 with the partners experienced in many projects in the field of geotechnique. GEOTEKNIK is an independent contracting company of engineers and independent of any contracting companies, manufacturers or suppliers. We have several departments that support our activities, i.e. research, laboratory, consulting, design and application. GEOTEKNIK realizes that study is an integrated part of a system and its responsibility field in any project is also a part of a relations-net. For us, it is easy to run harmonic, synchronized and intelligent relations with the participants and counterparts of a project. We have carried our targets in soil improvement, investigation, engineering and consultancy fields on to the international platform and operationalized in 2009 with GEOTEKNIK LIBYA and GEOTEKNIK AZƏRBAYCAN and in 2010 with GEOTEKNIK Middle East.
By the year of 2007; GEOTEKNIK has been awarded with ISO9001:2000 and in 2010 ISO9001:2008, OHSAS18001:2007, ISO14001:2004 certificates along with the vision of quality.
