Robertson Geo Services (RGS) is entering a major new phase of international growth, driven by rising global demand for its specialist borehole geophysics expertise across complex infrastructure projects.
From roads, bridges and tunnels to offshore wind farms, railways, pipelines, mining and nuclear facilities, RGS delivers verified subsurface data and engineering insight that directly informs geological understanding and construction designâsupporting safer, faster decision-making worldwide.
Managing Director Simon Garantini said: âEverything starts with the ground beneath our feet. The data we provide feeds directly into engineering and investment decisions, so accuracy really matters.
âThatâs why we place such a strong emphasis on verification and calibration; our clients rely on us to deliver the information they can trust, and that trust underpins our growth.â
A key differentiator is RGSâs end-to-end model. As part of the wider Robertson Geo group, operating from North Wales, the US and Hong Kong, the business designs and manufactures its own technologies while also delivering field loggingâcreating a continuous feedback loop that sharpens tools, processes and its GeoCAD software platform.
RGS Geophysical Services Manager Ian Jones said: âWeâre unique in that we both design and manufacture the tools and software, and use them on our customers’ job sites.
âThat gives us insight our competitors simply donât have. While others rely on third-party equipment, we are constantly refining our technology and how we operate, and feeding this knowledge back to the engineering and manufacturing teams.
âThe result is a continuous improvement cycle that leads to greater reliability, less downtime and meaningful long-term savings for our customers.â
Engineers are deployed worldwide, delivering large logging projects with on-site data processing and interpretation. Safety underpins every job, with two engineers assigned per projectâboosting resilience while enabling live verification and preventative maintenance.
Ian added: âOur focus is always on reducing non-productive time. Offshore, delays can cost ÂŁ5 a second or more, and those pressures only increase with weather and tight schedules.
âOur experience in offshore wind and other challenging environments means we understand the importance of service quality, consistently helping clients to improve efficiency and drive product innovation, often delivering savings that run into thousands, and in some cases millions.â
Growth is supported by extensive on-site test facilities, ISO 9001 accreditation, and a new Conwy headquarters that brings manufacturing, engineering, calibration and training under one roof. With projects completed in Sweden, Laos, Hong Kong, Bulgaria, Australia, Japan and Germany in the past year aloneâand rising demand across the US, Asia and EuropeâRGS is scaling its global footprint while maintaining a hands-on, partnership-led approach.
Simon added, âAlthough we operate globally, every customer relationship matters to Robertson Geo. Long-standing partnerships built on communication and trust are central to how we work.
âOur new headquarters has already strengthened collaboration across the business, and with growing demand across the US, Asia and Europe, weâre well placed to continue expanding while delivering a consistently high standard of service worldwide.â
