about us

gd test is a private company specialized in rock mechanics testing, geophysical investigations and geotechnical monitoring for geoengineering applications.

gd test was funded in 1997 as an evolution of Interfels Italia and it has acquired a large amount of high level experiences through direct involvement in some major infrastructure projects realized in both Italy and abroad.

A team of engineers, geologists, electronic technicians, and computer scientists designs and develops specific-to-the-project systems to determine the physical and geomechanical properties of the intact material and the rock mass in the laboratory and in situ. The rock/soil mechanics laboratory is fully equipped also with apparatus that permits the characterization of the ground for mechanized excavation.

The instruments for the in situ tests allow to operate from both the surface and the underground, as well as from boreholes. gd test controls the time-wise evolution of measurable variables and participates in the interpretation of the phenomena that influence ground behavior. Data acquisition is planned, structured and visualized.

Wherever there is an engineering project, a slope stability evaluation, or a control of the flow of a water course, the intervention of gd test provides real-time data to the designer to verify project hypotheses and support the decision-making process.
